Explanation

Developing research questions means narrowing down and focusing directly on what you want to know.

The claim that a research question does not prompt a literature survey is false, since a good question drives the review of existing work.

A focused question defines the study's scope and boundaries.

Reviewing the literature reveals gaps that sharpen the research question further.

The question and the literature survey inform each other iteratively.

A clear question also guides the selection of methods and data.
