Question
- A. To make the data collection process faster
- B. To ensure the data can be easily analyzed later
- C. To maintain the integrity and reliability of the findings
- D. To reduce the amount of data collected
Answer
The correct answer is To maintain the integrity and reliability of the findings.
Explanation
The correct option is To maintain the integrity and reliability of the findings. To maintain the integrity and reliability of the findings 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.
