Analyzing a Procedural Text: How to Find Out Anything — Quiz
Question 5 • English IV
According to "How to Think Like a Researcher," a chapter from How to Find Out Anything , knowing how much information is needed is the second critical step in research. Malcolm is going on an interview and wants to do research about the company first. Based on the guidelines in the text, which information should he gather as research?
Answer
A
skills and experiences that are highly valued by the employer
B
all financial transactions that have occurred in the company
C
details about the development and construction of the building
D
every complaint that has ever been filed against the company
Explanation
Research should focus on information that helps Malcolm prepare for his interview and meet his immediate goal. Learning which skills and experiences the employer values can help him connect his own qualifications to the job. Gathering every complaint, building-construction details, or all company financial transactions would be far more information than he needs.
