Explanation:

Literature reviews in sociological research serve to learn from existing work. Researchers identify errors in prior studies to avoid repeating them, analyze related studies on the same topic to gather extra perspectives, and uncover other relevant factors for their own research. Duplicating work without credit is unethical and not a valid purpose of a literature review.

Answer:

• look for mistakes that other researchers have made and report them to the appropriate agency
• analyze other relevant studies about the same problem they are researching to gain additional insights
• gain insights about other factors that might pertain to their study
