Bethany is writing a paper about the history of jazz in the US. She has several potential research questions. Which is her best option?

A strong research question is focused and invites investigation rather than a simple fact or opinion. “What was the impact of jazz on American culture during the Harlem Renaissance?” narrows the topic to a particular period and asks about jazz’s effects. The question about when jazz first became popular can be answered with a date, while “most talented” is subjective and the question about cultures around the world is broader than the paper’s US history focus.
