★An open-ended question gives no fixed list of options and no yes or no format.
★So respondents can write their own answers of any length, making statement I correct.
★Telescoping occurs when respondents misdate events and place them inside the reference period.
★This memory error does affect the accuracy of survey answers.
★So telescoping is an issue in survey research, making statement II incorrect.
★Therefore statement I is correct while statement II is incorrect.
