Which of the following best describes the development process for a research question?
AA broad question is made more specific as its terms are more clearly defined ✓ Correct
BA broad question is left broad in order to be more significant
CA specific question is broadened as its terms are more clearly defined
DA specific question is broadened in order to be more significant
Correct answer: (A) A broad question is made more specific as its terms are more clearly defined — A research question develops by making a broad question more specific as its terms are clarified, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★A research question develops by making a broad question more specific as its terms are clarified, so that is the answer.
★A research question usually starts broad and general.
★As the terms are defined more clearly, the question is narrowed and made specific.
★So the development moves from broad and vague towards narrow and precise.
★Leaving a question broad, or broadening a specific one, is the opposite of this refinement.
★So the correct description is that a broad question is made more specific as its terms are clearly defined.
