Complete the following sentences: [10 marks]
An abstract (definition) is a concise and brief synopsis of the contents of a research paper. It
can be regarded as a crucial paragraph in a research project. An abstract is separate and
independent and must make sense by itself. It describes your work and findings without
going into close detail. (Melbourne University, 2010) (4)
An abstract should answer three main questions, namely:
(a) What is the purpose of your research report, the topic, and why did you choose it?
(b) What methods did you use and how did you use it?
(c) What is the results of your key findings in your research project? (Taylor, 2007)
2.2
The abstract for Project 4805 should be no longer than 300 words. The abstract is usually
