Only the first statement is correct.

- True: The question should have a single, focused aim and be answerable using valid sources (i.e., be clear and researchable).
- False: It does not have to be overly simple for a general audience; it must be clear and appropriately scoped for the intended field.
- False: It should not have several unrelated components—multi-part questions are usually too broad.
- False: It should not include the writer’s personal views; a good research question is neutral and objectively investigable.
