Feedback:
Researchers most often state their purpose at the end of the introduction or immediately after the review of the literature. A problem statement is presented early in a research article and often begins with the first sentence after the abstract. The first paragraph of a research report is often the starting point of a problem statement. The method section describes the methods used in the research study.
