Question

You're halfway through your research paper, and you realize that the research you have done has led you to conclude that your original thesis ideas won't work anymore. What should you do? A. Choose an entirely new research question. B. Go back and correct the errors in your research. C. Reassess your research and refine your thesis statement. D. Continue your research but reduce the number of supporting arguments you intend to make.

Answer 1

As original thesis ideas won't work anymore (mentioned in last sentence of the question) then, we should reassess our research and refine our thesis statement.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

C). Reassess your research and refine your thesis statement.

Explanation:

The correct measure to be adopted at this stage (when you came to realize halfway through your research that original thesis won't work anymore) is that you need to reassess your research and refine your thesis to come out with research and thesis that complement and correspond each other. It would not only help refine the thesis according to the research but would also help to present the ideas in a more organized and effective manner as you are reassessing the research. Thus, the correct answer is option A, as there is no scope to begin your research with an entirely new thesis but rather to use the previous research for the new refined thesis and develop the arguments accordingly.
