The correct answer is (c)
To perform Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS-21 version, the following commands need to be sequentially arranged:


Analyse €: The first step is to open the “Analyse” menu in SPSS-21, where you can access various statistical procedures, including ANCOVA.

General Linear Model (A): Within the “Analyse” menu, navigate to the “General Linear Model” option. This option allows you to perform various types of linear models, including ANCOVA, which involves both categorical and continuous predictors.


Univariate ©: After selecting the “General Linear Model” option, choose the “Univariate” procedure. This procedure is suitable for analyzing the relationship between one dependent variable and one or more independent variables, including covariates.

Post Test-Dependent variable, Pre-Test Covariate (D): In the “Univariate” dialog box, specify the dependent variable you want to analyze after the covariate adjustment (Post Test), followed by specifying the covariate (Pre-Test). This step ensures that the analysis properly accounts for the effects of the covariate on the dependent variable.

Model – Sum of Squares-Type I (B): Finally, within the “Univariate” dialog box, specify the type of sum of squares method you want to use for the analysis. This option allows you to choose between different methods for partitioning the variance in the data. For ANCOVA, the Type I sum of squares method is commonly used.
