    A. Discovering new facts by searching for information
    Explanation
    Research is the process of discovering new facts by searching for information. It involves conducting a systematic investigation or inquiry to gather knowledge and understanding about a particular topic. This can be done through various methods such as reading books, articles, and journals, conducting experiments, surveys, or interviews, and analyzing data. Research helps in expanding knowledge, finding solutions to problems, and contributing to the existing body of knowledge in a particular field. It is a crucial tool in academic, scientific, and professional settings to gain new insights and make informed decisions.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Secondary research involves gathering information from existing sources rather than collecting new data through primary research methods. It typically involves reviewing literature, reports, articles, and other published materials to gain insights and knowledge on a specific topic. Therefore, the statement that secondary research is getting information from another source is correct.

    A. Primary
    Explanation
    Primary research involves gathering information directly from original sources through experiments, activities, surveys, observations, or interviews. It is a firsthand method of collecting data that is specific to the research objective and has not been previously collected or published. This type of research allows for the collection of unique and customized data that is relevant to the specific research question, making it the correct answer in this context. Secondary research, on the other hand, involves using existing data and sources that have already been collected by others. Tertiary research refers to the compilation and summary of existing research studies.

    An information source refers to anything that is used to acquire knowledge. It can be a book, a website, a person, or any other medium that provides information. This term encompasses a wide range of resources that individuals can utilize to gain knowledge and stay informed about various subjects. In this context, "information source" is the most appropriate and inclusive term to describe anything that is used to acquire knowledge.

    Explanation
    A keyword is a word or phrase that is used to retrieve specific information on a particular topic. It is commonly used in search engines or databases to narrow down the search results and find relevant information. Keywords play a crucial role in information retrieval and help users find the most relevant and accurate information quickly and efficiently.

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because a research question is not a general question about a topic. It is a specific and focused question that guides the research process and helps in obtaining relevant and meaningful results. A research question should be clear, concise, and specific, addressing a particular aspect or problem within a broader topic. It helps in narrowing down the scope of research and provides a clear direction for investigation.
