The word desert is often used metaphorically to describe a deprived environment, as a desert is deprived of water. Thus from Gao Village: A Portrait of Rural Life in Modern China by M C F Gao:

High desertion rates in any company, battalion, or division indicated failures of command and logistics, for which blame pointed to leaders as much as to the men who deserted. Some soldiers deserted when all the other members of their units had been killed and their own deaths appeared inevitable.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Non-participant observation

Patti does an observation type study.  These types of studies can be divided into two groups: participant and non-participant observation.

As Patti wants to be unnoticed by the children, she is using the non-participant approach to studying. Here, the researcher does not form a part of a group and/or even becomes a member of it but deliberately stays apart from it.

Why did some colonists smuggle goods in the 1760s
Alex73 [517]

Some colonists resorted to smuggling because it offered a way they could avoid the restrictions placed on  trade by the British. Restrictions were placed on what the colonies could manufacture, whose ships they could use, and most importantly, with whom they could trade.

British merchants wanted American colonists to buy British goods, not French, Spanish, or Dutch products. In theory Americans would pay duties on imported goods to discourage this practice. The Navigation Act and Molasses Act were just two examples of royal attempts to restrict colonial trade.

Smuggling is the way the colonists ignored these restrictions.
