Reporting results typically includes

• A. Results, conclusions, and interpretations
• B. Methods only
• C. Data tables only
• D. Abstracts only

Answer: (A)

When you report results, you’re communicating what the study found and what it means. The results section presents the actual findings—the data and outcomes as they occurred. The conclusions then summarize what those findings imply in relation to the research questions and hypotheses. The interpretations go further, discussing the meaning, significance, possible explanations for the patterns observed, limitations of the study, and implications for practice or policy. In practice, this combination shows not only the numbers but also the real-world takeaway and how it could influence future work. Data tables or figures may accompany the results to illustrate the data, but they don’t stand alone as the entire report of results. Methods belong in a separate section that describes how the study was conducted, and abstracts provide only a brief overview at the beginning.
