Answer 1

Answer - (1) (i) Research question- It is an crucial element of research project. Research question is a initial basic step in a research after the researcher decides what is the research area. It is the question that researcher keeps in mind during the entire research and keep concentration on research project according to the research question. It also determines the type of research , researcher want to continue.

(ii) Conceptual framework- In every research many of the macroeconomic variables are concerned and it reveals the researcher knowledge how variables are connected with each other. Conceptual framework provides knowledge about the researcher entire research project.

(iii) Research design- It is a framework that gives information about the research methodology , techniques, tools, testing adopted by the researcher to carry out the research results.

Answer -2 Strength , weakness and limitations of research paper are-

Strengths of research paper-

• Strong research design
• Scientific process
• Achievable aims and objectives
• Completion of research with in given time and without wastage of money

Weakness of research paper-

• Not indepth study of the topic
• No concentration on research gaps.
• Not proper ananlysis of data
• Not having similarities in review of literature and citations.

Limitations of research paper-

• The major limitation deals with data set because size of sample relies on the research problem. If the sample size is too large or small , then, tests and techniques will fail to identify the importance of reserch project.
• Primary data collection is hard for the researchers at initial level to follow and can provide flawless results.
• Review of literature is essential. If review of literature is not available , then research gaps cannot formulate.

Answer 3 Refinements and extensions that can be made is

• References must be increased.
• Improvement in conclusions can be made.
