How does the brainstorming technique of mapping help in writing a research paper?

1 It explores the main topic by asking a series of questions.
2 It forms connections between the main topic and supporting topics.
3 It lists topics and related ideas in a logical order.
4 It allows jotting down ideas for the research topic in a timed session.

Answer 1

I'm gonna go with 2.) It forms connections between the main topic and supporting topics.

Mapping takes a while to produce, so it cannot be 4.
