Leon has made a long list of methods to use in conducting his research. he looks at his list and feels confused and overwhelmed. leon has forgotten to a. study his topic thoroughly. b. select only one of the methods. c. narrow down his method choices. d. create his research schedule.

narrow down his method choices.

Explanation:

It doesn't matter if you take notes or make a list if you can't simplify your list to the point when it actually becomes useful. Having a list of option that is way too long will make it all seem like noise, eventually. That's why you need to compare the options and discard some (if possible, discard most) so you can have, in the end, practical choices.

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
