Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Anansi's findings are both explanatory of his study's data and provide a theory that can be applied to other cases, making them theoretically valid. Option A is incorrect because while the findings may create a new theory, the statement suggests that it is a condition for theoretical validity. Option B is incorrect because supporting an existing theory, while useful, is not enough to establish theoretical validity. Option D is incorrect because the explanation of a single case is not enough to establish theoretical validity, although it can provide valuable insights.
