Question

Select all that aply:
To develop primary research skills for business communications, you should study
1. library science.
2. statistical and quantitative analysis.
3. spreadsheet software.
4. literature, history, and the biographies of successful entrepreneurs in various industries.

Answer 1

2 and 3.

Reason: Primary research in business communications focuses on collecting and analyzing original data, so statistical/quantitative analysis (designing studies, interpreting results) and spreadsheet software (organizing and analyzing data) are directly relevant. Library science and courses in literature/history/biographies are more useful for secondary research and contextual knowledge, not core primary research skills.
