To continue the research activity, the data for question number one are ready to be analysed. However, for questions number two and three, 9 from 44 and 10 from 56, the
data have to be selected. The next thing to do was selecting the data for question number two and three.
3.4.7 Selecting
In selecting the data, the techniques that would be applied were maintaining the most relevant data, omitting the less relevant data, and omitting the 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 in several appendices.
3.4.8 Reporting
The data that had been collected were reported in appendices. Appendixes can help readers to find out all kinds of the data analysis easily. If the readers want to see the
overall data, they can refer to Appendix A. The results of classifying the data were reported in Appendix B. For the results of reducing the data, they were available in
Appendix C. The selected data were reported in Appendix D. While the explanations of the selected data for analysing the research problems were available in Appendix E.
To analyse the selected data, certain techniques needed. They would be presented below.
