3. C_ c _ _ c _ l
3. CYCLICAL Research is a cyclical
process because it
starts with a problem
and ends with a
problem; hence,
research is repeated.
4. An_ l _t i c _ l
4. ANALYTICAL Research involves
critical thinking skills
and the evaluation of
facts and information
relative to the
research being
conducted.
