Answer 1

Answer: 3. A section that demonstrates the relevance of the study.

Explanation:

To write a justification for the your qualitative research, one need to first and foremost write a background on what all research has been done on the research topic. This is followed by questions like "what gap should be filled?", ''what is missing? '', '' what are the open questions of the study? ''. Identify the gaps in the literature and emphasize why it is important to address those gaps. This would in one way or the other point out the relevance of the research study. This should be included in Sophie's research plan. This justification or rationale determines the underlying basis for carrying out the research, aims of the research and what Sophie proposes to do. This is a very important aspect of research plan.
