Question

Which question would be considered a normative question? Question 4 options: a) How many people participated in obstacle course racing last year? b) Should obstacle races be regulated to ensure the safety of its participants? c) When and where are the major obstacle races held? d) How much does an entry into an obstacle course race cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

b) Should obstacle races be regulated to ensure the safety of its participants?

Explanation:

A normative question is one that seeks to establish a scenario through the opinions and answers about that scenario. This type of question can never be answered objectively (such as "yes" or "no" for example) because it needs an elaborate answer that shows how something should be done. Simply put, a normative question will always ask "what should be done if ...?", "What would happen if ...?", "Should we do ...?". Based on this, we can state that, among the options given in the question, the sentence that represents a normative question is the sentence that is in the letter B.
