In the handbook’s inductive method, application comes before observation and interpretation.
Answer
false
Explanation
### Why this is right
The sequence is observation, interpretation, and application. Beginning with application reverses the method and risks imposing a modern concern before understanding the passage.
### The concept
Observation identifies what is in the text. Interpretation asks what it meant in context and what it means for readers. Application considers how that meaning should shape life. Each stage depends on the work done before it.
### The other options
- **True**: This reverses the three-step sequence described in the handbook.
### Remember
Observe first, interpret next, apply last.
