Correct: 1 and 2 only.
- 1 (They should be exhaustive) — True, but interpret as the response options being exhaustive (and preferably mutually exclusive) so respondents can find an appropriate choice.
- 2 (They should be non-leading) — True. Questions should be neutral and avoid wording that pushes respondents toward a particular answer.
- 3 (They should encompass multiple ideas) — False. Good questions are single‑barreled: ask one idea at a time. Combining ideas confuses responses.
- 4 (They should be complex) — False. Questions should be simple, clear, and easy to understand.
Other key qualities: clear wording, appropriate reading level, unbiased phrasing, specific timeframes, and pilot testing.
