Question 15 • World History: Issues and Patterns

Which statement best explains why an effective research question needs to be specific?

Answer
A
It makes it possible to evaluate the sources.
B
It makes the question possible to answer.
C
It makes it easy to tell what the question is asking.
D
It makes it easy to identify keywords.

Explanation

A specific research question narrows the topic enough to investigate it within reasonable limits. That makes the question possible to answer; a question that is too broad may lead to too much information or no clear way to reach a conclusion. So the best choice is “It makes the question possible to answer.”
