Answer:

that the measure has been tested and validated for use with Brazilians

Step-by-step explanation:

Validity: In research, the term validity indicates the significance of particular research and how well & sound it is. It is being applied to methods as well as the design of particular research. Validity mainly determines the phenomenon of measurement and represents what it claimed to measure in specific research.

For any research or study to be successful the researcher should ensure the research is being validated or tested.

In the question above, Dr. Wang should ensure that the measure has been tested and validated for use with Brazilians before using the assessment.
