If we pay attention to this column, it gives information that since each datum did not always answer all the research questions, the overall data should be
classified to help the writer find the supporting data for each research question easily. This step was called classifying data which would be explained in the
following sub-chapter.
3.4.6 Classifying Data
In this step, the overall data were classified based on the research problems. The data classification gives information that could be seen as follows.

From the list of classified data above, the writer could see that sometimes a datum answered more than one question. Since not all data were manageable to
be analysed, the process of reducing was considered to be necessary.
3.4.7 Reducing
There are many techniques of how to reduce the data; but this research would reduce the classified data into 32. This was done because it will take much time
if the writer has to explain all of the data. Because of that, the data for question number one, two, and three, the supported data were reduced by only taking 17,
30, and 70 of the classified data since there were too many revealed data with the same context. It needed more time and energy to analyse when it was not
reduced. So to make it analysable, the writer reduced it until 32. The result of
the reducing step would be demonstrated in the following table: Table 3.3 Simplified Data

To begin the research, for all questions, from problem one, two, and three; 5 from 30, 5 from 17, and 5 from 7; the data have to be selected.
The next thing to do was selecting the data for all questions.
3.4.8 Selecting
In selecting the data, the techniques that would be applied were maintaining the most relevant data, omitting less relevant data, and omitting repetitive data.
Finally, the data that had already gone through selecting process were bolded to facilitate the identification of the selected data. The result of this procedure could
be seen in the following table.

Finally, the selected data displayed on the third column were ready to be analysed. The overall procedures above needed to be reported through several
appendices.
