Fred Simnel's Report Said That He Used the Analytic Comparison

Fred Simnel's report said that he used the analytic comparison method to analyze the causes of stable economic growth in a study of six communities in California. What did Mr. Simnel do?

A) He developed a cover term to describe the "cultural space" or arena of interest. Next he listed included terms which shared the same semantic relationship with the cover term.
B) He identified many characteristics in the communities. He then looked for ones that were shared among communities that had stable economic growth and ones missing in the communities that did not have stable economic growth.
C) He created an ideal model of stable economic growth and compared what happened in each of the six communities to his model.
D) He formed a theoretical explanation of stable economic growth, then found specific examples from the cases to illustrate the concepts used in the explanation.
