    What is being investigated in a systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical manner?

    • Hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among natural phenomenon

    • Life as we know it

    • The existence of a creative intelligence from which everything comes from

    • The process by which man can establish order in a relatively considered chaotic world.

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among natural phenomenon
    Explanation
    In a systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical manner, researchers investigate hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among natural phenomena. This means that researchers rigorously examine and test theories or ideas about how different natural phenomena are related to each other. They do so using a systematic and controlled approach, gathering empirical evidence through observation and experimentation. The investigation is also critical, meaning that researchers evaluate and analyze the evidence and arguments in a thorough and objective manner.

    Who will be your best participant if you will conduct research about poverty?

    • Teachers

    • Construction workers

    • Politicians

    • People living in squatter areas

    Correct Answer

Their firsthand experiences and perspectives would provide a more accurate understanding of the issues surrounding poverty, allowing researchers to develop more targeted and effective solutions. Teachers, construction workers, and politicians may have some knowledge or involvement in poverty-related issues, but they may not have the same level of personal experience and understanding as those living in squatter areas.
