    News reporting agencies often want to find the public's opinion on current events. One particular agency is considering two different strategies to collect this data by collecting responses to online surveys. The two strategies are outlined below.

    Strategy One: 1. Uses a database to store all of the survey responses

    2. Stores some data as text and some data as numbers

    3. Will track extra information about the survey taker that won't be publicly visible

    Strategy Two 1. Uses a single spreadsheet to store all of the survey responses

    2. Stores all data as numbers

    3. Will not track any information other than the survey responses

    Which of the following statements is the most accurate comparison of these strategies?

    Strategy One will make it easier to sort and filter the data, while Strategy Two will make it easier to graph the data

    Strategy One will cause problems because of the mixed data types, while Strategy Two will make it very easy to find specific data.

    Strategy One will allow the agency to conclude more about the public's opinion because it tracks extra metadata, while Strategy Two will make it hard to find trends and access particular pieces of the data.

    Strategy One will require less cleaning and manipulation of the data, while Strategy Two will require a significant amount of extra computation to use the data.
