Frame five two-way questions (with 'Yes' or 'No').
A two-way question is a type of closed-ended or structured question where there are only two possible answers: ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. These questions are distinct from multiple-choice questions, which offer more than two options. It is crucial to frame these questions neutrally so they do not become leading questions that give a clue about how the respondent should answer.
Five appropriate two-way questions are:
- Do you think smoking should be prohibited?
- Do you use computers regularly?
- Do you read newspapers regularly?
- Did you sell your land?
- Do you like the flavour of this tea?
Explanation
The answer is based on the textbook definition that a two-way question has only two possible answers: 'yes' or 'no'. The questions provided are adapted from the examples given in the text (such as smoking, computers, newspapers, land, and tea) but converted into the specific two-way format requested by the exercise. Care was taken to ensure the questions were not 'leading' (e.g., using 'Do you think...' instead of 'Don't you think...'), as advised by the text.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Define a two-way question using the text (only two answers: Yes/No).
Step 2: Review text examples (smoking, tea, land, etc.) to identify topics.
Step 3: Frame five neutral questions that result in a Yes/No answer, avoiding leading phrasing.
