Answer 1

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

1. **Narrow enough that it is possible to sort through the available information** - A good research question needs to be focused enough to allow for a thorough investigation and analysis of the specific topic.

2. **Broad enough that it cannot be answered with a one-word answer** - A good research question should encourage exploration and in-depth analysis, requiring discussion and elaboration rather than a simple yes or no or one-word response.
