Carol's purpose suggests that she wants to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of stroke victims during therapy sessions. A narrative study would be most appropriate as it allows for the collection of rich, detailed accounts of individual experiences, which is what Carol is interested in exploring. A survey study would be better suited to collecting broader, more quantitative data, while correlational and single-subject studies are not well-suited to exploring subjective experiences in depth.
