Answer 1

Answer:

A. It implies only description of the data, not interpretation.

Explanation:

A research problem is one that involves description, analysis, and interpretation of information from an ongoing research as a step to understand what researchers have found out so far and solve any problems.

In the given scenario one is asked the correlation between an index of civic-mindedness and years of involvement in local organizations and charities among members of city councils of selected midsized cities in the northeastern United States?

This only describes the problem, it does not show analysis that has been done for example correlation between index of civic mindedness and years of involvement in local organisations is 0.8 (this is the analysis).

The fact that the correlation is high is the interpretation.
