The details of the qualitative and quantitative research cannot be included in the study since the instructions to follow the deductive method of research had been specified earlier.The survey also cannot be carried out since the research is focused on the study of the construction methods used in the ancient times and those used in the modern times and to effectively conclude that the ancient methods of construction were better and more earthquake resistant.This study can be carried out only by comparing the journals and not by interviewing people or conducting surveys since the details of the construction methods are not known to the general public. The rubric had not been provided earlier,But all the points stated in the rubric had been included in the study, the points have been emboldened for easy understanding Points have been emboldened for easy understanding

Use references to make your argument. Locate existing research that uses a similar approach to make your argument. Please do check the attachment if any. Ensure the title accurately reflects the aim of the research. This is my which could not do well. The topic of my research will be construction method that should be adopted in an earthquake-prone country like Nepal. I was thinking of doing this by following deduction method and adopting historical methods where I will be proving a hypothesis by comparing construction methods that were used in different dynasty period and comparing that to the present concrete building construction methods. And at last proving, the ancient methods were good by showing the alteration that has been done in modern construction techniques in Nepal. Basically, my research will be focused on Nepal.
