Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telephone interviews offer speed in gathering data as they can be conducted quickly compared to other methods like mail surveys or in-person interviews.

Answer: B
 This option is not an advantage of telephone interviews. While they can collect a good amount of data, it may not be as detailed or nuanced as in-person interviews or focus groups.

Answer: D
 This option is not entirely true as telephone interviews rely on a list of phone numbers, which may not include all households. Additionally, some households may not have telephones or may not wish to participate in telephone surveys.
