Organizing the questions into common topics allows for a clear and structured survey. It also makes it easier for respondents to understand and respond to the questions. Mixing questions on different topics may confuse respondents or make it difficult for them to provide accurate answers. Additionally, including jargon or slang may make the survey more confusing and difficult to understand, and asking threatening questions at the beginning may bias respondents' answers. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
