Both statement I and Statement II are true B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Apologies for the confusion. Let’s correct the answer.

The correct answer is:

D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Statement I, “All research adds to the corpus of knowledge by advancing a theory,” is not entirely true. While research does contribute to the corpus of knowledge, not all research necessarily advances a theory. Research can also focus on practical applications, data collection, or exploration of existing theories.

Statement II, “The focus of action research is basically on making anything better and the amelioration of prevalent practices,” is generally true. Action research is a systematic approach that aims to improve specific practices, processes, or outcomes in a given context. It involves actively engaging with stakeholders, implementing changes, and reflecting on the impact of those changes to bring about positive improvements.
