Section B: Fieldwork
Question
- A. It ensures every individual has an equal chance of being selected
- B. It allows for a more representative sample of the population
- C. It is the quickest method of data collection
- D. It reduces the need for data analysis
Answer
The correct answer is It allows for a more representative sample of the population.
Explanation
The correct option is It allows for a more representative sample of the population. It allows for a more representative sample of the population is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to measure and record data using different sampling methods. This belongs to Fieldwork within Section B: Fieldwork, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Fieldwork, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Confusing Sampling Methods
Students often confuse different sampling methods, such as random sampling and systematic sampling, leading to incorrect data collection.
Review the definitions and applications of each sampling method, and practice identifying which method is appropriate for different fieldwork scenarios.
