Explanation
An appropriate research question is specific and can be answered using evidence. “What is the average income of a dentist in the United States?” identifies a measurable quantity, a profession, and a location. The other choices depend on subjective judgments or undefined terms, such as what counts as “better,” “nice weather,” or “most difficult.”
