Discussion
Which among the following is/are true in the context of 'theory' ?
i. It can mean an explanatory framework, a way of looking at a situation.
ii. It can't mean an opinion or belief.
iii. It can't mean a bundle of concepts.
iv. It sometimes connotes binary opposition.
Answer: D
The answer is Only i and iv.
The word 'theory' is used in many senses, as Cohen, Manion and Morrison point out. It can mean an explanatory framework or a way of looking at a situation (i), and it sometimes connotes a binary opposition, such as theory versus practice (iv).
It can also mean an opinion or belief, and a bundle of concepts, so statements ii and iii, which deny those meanings, are false. Every option including them is wrong.
