Directions (6-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below it.
The interview may be conducted by letter and by telephone, as well as in person. Letter and telephone interviews are less satisfactory. Direct contact with an individual and a face to face relationship often provide a stimulating situation for both interviewer and interviewee. Personal reaction and interaction is useful not only in rapport but also in obtaining nuances and additional information by the reactions which are more fully observed in a face relationship.
Adequate preparation for the interview is a must. Careful planning saves not only time but also energy of both parties concerned. The interview is used to obtain facts or subjective data such as individual opinions, attitudes and preferences. Interviews are used to check on questionnaires which may have been used to obtain data or when a problem being investigated is complex or when the information needed to solve it cannot be secured easily in any other way. People will often give information orally but will not put it in writing.
