The main purpose of the review of the literature is to:
- A Acknowledge the work of others by listing their findings prior to proposing your own project.
- B Show how your study is superior to other work done in the area.
- C Publicly demonstrate your mastery of the research literature in your area.
- D Show how your study is related to, and extends, other work in the area.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is to show how your study is related to, and extends, other work in the area. The review of the literature is an essential part of any research project as it allows the researcher to understand the existing knowledge and research in the field. By reviewing the literature, the researcher can identify gaps, contradictions, or areas that need further exploration. It also helps in establishing the significance of the study by showing how it builds upon and contributes to the existing body of knowledge.
