Narrowing Your Topic

What is the primary purpose of narrowing down a scientific research topic?

• To make the research more manageable and focused

• To increase the complexity of the research

• To cover a broader range of subjects

• To ensure the research is more expensive

Which of the following is a benefit of narrowing your scientific research topic?

• It allows for a more detailed exploration of the subject

• It makes the research less interesting

• It reduces the need for a hypothesis

• It increases the number of variables to consider

When narrowing a topic in a scientific experiment, what should be considered first?

• The availability of resources

• The popularity of the topic

• The length of the research paper

• The number of references available

How does narrowing a topic help in scientific data interpretation?

• It reduces the amount of data to analyze

• It complicates the data analysis process

• It makes the data less reliable

• It increases the number of data points

In the context of scientific research, what does narrowing your topic help to achieve?

• A clear and concise research question

• A vague and broad research question
