Answer 1

6)To rely on a source of information , knowledge on the topic is required. If the person has thorough knowledge of the subject matter then the information shared can be verified wheather it is reliable or not. Nowadays google helps us in searching any matter or topic and generally we can rely on it as trusted search engine. Apart from google, to verify the reliability one has to go on the roots of the informations.

7) To prepare a report there are standard criteria,s which defines steps and which steps should come after what that is also clarified. Generally steps are introduction, briefing, descriptions, discussions and conclusions .

8)Pure research means the actual research on its own , and in pure research one can do whatever he/she like to which supports the research. But its true that its tough to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant matters as the topic is in the research stage and generally unknown to the public and society. Applied research is based on some theories , rules or laws etc which are already proven and based on those laws or by applying those theories if anything further investigated it is applied research . Thus, applied research has limitations.

9)Abstract is the summary of informations gathered together. It informs us about the important aspects of the total subject matter.

10) Incase of long stories or any other long topics reader who is a layman only will be unable to keep tract of the several aspects in that topic, thus writers summarise or quote etc as its beneficial for the readers. Otherwise if we think more acceptability of a writer also makes the writer popular in the society or to the world.

11) Topic selection should be done on one,s ownself only and not by the suggestions of the others. The topic in which he or she is comfortable and have enough knowledge to define or explain if challanged should be choosen.

12)Three step research formula is acquiring informations which are raw in nature, then process those raw informations and bringing the results of any new developments . It is necessary to follow the steps because without these steps reliability hampers .
