You are presenting a speech in class on a topic that you know to be highly controversial. Using a hypothetical topic, develop a questionnaire to find out as much as possible about your audience's attitudes, beliefs, and values concerning this topic. Use both open-ended and closed-ended questions

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Topic and questionnaire will vary, but open-ended questions gather more detailed information from an audience and should allow for unrestricted answers without limiting responses to specific choices or alternatives. Closed-ended questions offer alternatives from which to choose from, such as yes-no, multiple-choice, true/false, and agree/disagree questions.
