What are the three steps in the research process?

  1. Define, Locate, Review

  2. Analyze, Brainstorm, Summarize

  3. Identify, Gather, Interpret

  4. Synthesize, Evaluate, Utilize

The correct answer is: Define, Locate, Review

The research process involves three main steps defining the problem, locating relevant information, and reviewing and analyzing the gathered data. Option B is incorrect because brainstorming and summarizing are not part of the research process, but rather techniques used during the process. Option C is incorrect because identifying and gathering information are only the first two steps in the process, and interpretation is not mentioned. Option D is incorrect because synthesizing and evaluating are important skills to have during the research process, but not specific steps in the process itself. Therefore, option A is the best answer as it accurately reflects the three essential steps in the research process.
