Possible answers

She didn't ask enough survey questions, so she doesn't have enough variables to make good matches between respondents.

She used text fields for answers, and there might be too many differences between respondents to make good matches.

She asked similar questions in different ways, and it's hard to know which responses to trust most when matching.

All of the above.

None of the above.
