For example research methods used to find a solution to virus protection might not be advantageous to whether or not a family run business will benefit from a new database system.
我想知道
是：防范病毒的方法 没有 家族企业从数据库中获利的方法 好。
还是：家族企业从数据库中获利的方法 没有 防范病毒的方法 好。
那个 to whether or not 在这里到底起了什么作用。
to whether or not ：是...还是不是；不管...还是。
它插入句中如何理解。
谢谢。
题目:Information Gathering 正文：There are a number of research methodologies available to gather information from groups of people or the general public.Some are more specific to particular probelm than others.For example research methods used to find a solution to virus protection might not be advantageous to whether or not a family run business will benefit from a new database system. The standard for research of any kind is that data collected from individuals should be anonymous and presented in statistical tables and chart.Common forms of survey research include the questionnaire and interview.Surveys can be used to gather qualitative or quantitative data.
@zilch_落玉盘：其实，我很感谢这么晚了，你都还在帮我解决问题。谢谢。
@zilch_落玉盘：的确是阅读理解题，我其他地方都看懂了，就是从might not be...那句话，不晓得到底是前者比后者还是后者比前者，我不清楚whether or not 插到那个句中的意思，所以才来问的。的确是在备战考试。
For example/research methods/ used to find a solution to virus protection /might not be advantageous to /whether or not /a family run business will benefit from a new database system. whether or not仍旧是作为插入语表示“是否”的意思 不过这里调整了语序。正常语序是might not be advantageous to whethera family run business will benefit from a new database syst
