Original
Source Material: If one were going to be limited to a single
method, then certainly the verbal report from a respondent would
be the choice. With no other device can an investigator swing
his attention into so many different areas of substantive
content, often simultaneously, and also gather intelligence on
the extent to which his findings are hampered by population
restrictions. |

A)
In gathering verbal reports from subjects the investigator can
swing his attention into many different areas of substantive
content, and gather intelligence on the extent to which his
findings are hampered by population restrictions.

B)
The advantages claimed for verbal reports as a form of data
gathering are that "an investigator swing his attention into so
many different areas of substantive content, often
simultaneously, and also gather intelligence on the extent to
which his findings are hampered by population restrictions"
(Webb, Campbell, Schwartz & Sechrest, 1966, pp. 172-173).
