Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Guttman scaling, statements are ordered according to their relative importance, with each statement being more important than the ones that come before it. The scale is constructed in a way that ensures that if a respondent agrees with a higher-level statement, then they will also agree with all lower-level statements. Therefore, Guttman scaling is the correct choice for this question.
