Answer 1

The two correct statements that describe a good research question are:

1. Broad enough that it cannot be answered with a one-word answer: This ensures that the research question invites exploration and is comprehensive enough to warrant in-depth investigation.

2. Narrow enough that it is possible to sort through the available information: This helps to focus the research question so that it is manageable and allows for a thorough analysis of the topic without becoming overwhelming.

These components help create a well-defined research question that is both feasible for research and rich in content.
