Correct answers:
- What are the major threats to the world's whale population today?
- Why are whales important to the creation myths of so many cultures?

Why: Both are open-ended, researchable, and allow analysis and synthesis. The other two are closed factual questions that yield a single answer and are less suitable for a full research paper.
