ABA seeks to .......Answer.........discover the real truths (not those
held by certain groups, organizations, etc.)
Three different types of investigations provide different levels of
understanding .......Answer.........1. description

,age 2 of 50
description .......Answer.........◦Collection of facts about observed

◦Based on repeated observation revealing relationships
between various events
