Question

Which statement is the best evaluation of the research question? It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion and cannot be answered through research. It is clear and complex; this research question has a single focus that can be researched and discussed. It is too broad; this research question is unfocused and would be too difficult to discuss in a single research essay. It is too narrow; this research question is limited to high school students, which is not a large enough group to research.

Answer 1

I looked this question up and found the complete version online. The research question is:

"Why do high school students no spend enough time doing physical activity every day?"

Answer:

The statement which is the best evaluation of the research question is:

A. It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion and cannot be answered through research.

Explanation:

The author of the research question states an opinion when he/she says that high school students do not spend enough time doing physical activity. We do not know if this is true, if it is a fact. Had the author stated the question is a different manner, perhaps even providing some data, then it may have had some factual validity. For example: "A new study shows that 95% of high school students only exercise once a week. What are the reasons behind that number?" That question would not be based on an opinion, but on a fact. It would be easier to come up with a research - an interview, for instance - that would actually find out the reasons why that happens.
