Question

A questionnaire is being designed to determine whether most people are or are not in favor of keeping U.S. troops in Iraq. Give two examples of poorly worded questions, one biased toward each response. You can fabricate or make-up extraneous information for the purpose of this quiz question (no need to use real, factual data).

Answer 1

Here are the two examples of poorly worded questions that are biased toward each response:

1.       It’s certain that keeping U.S. troops in Iraq is a good decision; we should send more troops there, right?

2.       Since keeping U.S. troops should not be kept in Iraq when do you think is the best time to evacuate them?
