Answers

Q1- Answer is option C- Textbook

              Textbook is an example for secondary source of evidence why because the author is not participated directly or became an eyewitness in the historical event or periods while the other three options are included in the primary source of evidence.

Q2- Answer is option A- OR

         The Boolean operator “OR” will helps to expand the number of search results for all possible variations with the same meaning. “AND” will narrow the search results to include only the relevant results and “NOT” will limit the result by excluding the keywords and phrases from the results. YET is not included in the Boolean operators.

The objective of a randomized controlled trial by Adab et al. (A-19) was to determine whether providing women with additional information on the pros and cons of screening for cervical cancer would increase the willingness to be screened. A treatment group of 138 women received a leaflet on screening that contained more information (average individual risk for cervical cancer, likelihood of positive finding, the possibility of false positive/negative results, etc.) than the standard leaflet developed by the British National Health...
