Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Surveys can take less time to conduct compared to interviews as they are typically administered to a larger group of people at once, allowing for quick collection of data from a large sample size.

Answer: B
 This is not an advantage of surveys as surveys can often have just as many responses to analyze as interviews, depending on the sample size and scope of the survey.

Answer: C
 Interviews often allow for more in-depth answers as they involve a one-on-one conversation between the interviewer and interviewee, allowing for follow-up questions and elaboration on responses.

Answer: D
 Surveys can provide more objective responses as they typically involve standardized questions and response options, minimizing the influence of the interviewer on the responses.

Answer: E
 Surveys and interviews can both allow for responses from subject matter experts, so this is not a clear advantage of surveys over interviews.
