Javier presented the following research question for a history class.In what ways does the Treaty of San Francisco, which ended World War II, continue to affect life in Japan?
Answer
A
It is too limited, and there will not be enough information to answer it.
B
It is close-ended and does not require an in-depth response.
C
It is specific but not too narrow, and is phrased to allow for an in-depth response.
D
It is close-ended and would not allow for additional questions to guide research.
Explanation
The question identifies a specific topic—the Treaty of San Francisco and its effects on life in Japan—but asks “in what ways,” which allows for several kinds of effects and evidence. That makes it focused without being too narrow, and it can support an in-depth response. Choice C describes these strengths.
