In a study, a researcher conducted one-on-one interviews with people from a demographically diverse sample about their experiences of coping with a certain illness L. After analyzing all of the collected interview data, the researcher concluded that caring health care providers, supportive family members or friends, and the individual's own sense of hope are all key aspects of coping with L. The researcher recommended that future studies address the degree to which each of those three aspects predicts recovery from L.
Select a statement that represents an Assumption that the researcher's recommendation requires and a statement that represents new information that, if true, would most Support the researcher's recommendation. Make only two selections, one in each column.

1. The question asks us to find an assumption and support for the researcher's conclusion, if they are found to be true.
2. It was concluded that caring health care providers, supportive family members or friends, and the individual's own sense of hope are all key aspects of coping with L. In addition, the researcher said that it is important to understand the degree to which each of those three aspects predicts recovery from L.
3. Let's look at the answer choices:
- Maintaining connections with family or friends is necessary to prevent illness L. Nothing is mentioned about preventing the illness, only about recovering from it. So, this statement is neither.
- Medications are not effective in the treatment of people with illness L. This takes away one factor not mentioned that could predict recovery. That means it increases the likelihood of the three aspects to be important in recovery from illness L. So, this statement is support.
- People with illness L tend to feel a sense of hope when they feel supported by others. A connection is made between two aspects, which isn't assumed, and doesn't relate to predicting the recovery from L. So, this statement is neither.
- At least some people with illness L eventually recover. If this was false, then no factors would help, since recovery would be impossible. So, this statement is an assumption.
- Without treatment, illness L progresses, causing worsening symptoms and eventually serious disability. This is additional information which isn't assumed and doesn't connect the three factors to recovery. So, this statement is neither.
