Explanation:

1. The abstract in a research report is meant to give a concise summary of the research question, the methods used, and the key findings. It is a snapshot of the entire study.
2. Primary research in sociology involves collecting original data. Conducting surveys and interviews is a direct way of gathering new data (primary), while reviewing statistical databases, reading historical archives, and analyzing peer - reviewed articles are more about using existing data (secondary).
3. A thematic category should group data around a central theme. "Cultural perceptions of gender roles in the workplace" is a theme that can organize findings related to gender inequality. A detailed biography of a single individual is too specific, a list of random statistics lacks a theme, and all data without headings or organization is disorganized.

Answer:

1. To summarize the research question, methods, and key findings
2. Conducting surveys and interviews
3. Cultural perceptions of gender roles in the workplace
