Correct Answer Explanation
'Do you think smoking should be prohibited?' is a two-way question because it has only two possible answers — Yes or No.
Key Points:
- Two-way questions are a type of closed-ended (structured) questions.
- They are simple and easy to answer and analyse.
- Poor version: 'Don't you think smoking should be prohibited?' — this uses a double negative and leads the respondent.
- The good version uses a direct, neutral phrasing.
- When more than two options exist, multiple choice questions should be used instead.
