Structured interviews are designed to ask the same set of standardized questions to each interviewee. This permits direct comparability of responses, making it easier to draw conclusions and identify patterns in responses. Therefore, the statement 'Permits direct comparability of responses' is true. On the other hand, structured interviews discourage variation in questions, interviewer probes may bias answers, and responses are typically closed-ended. So, options B, C, and D are incorrect. Therefore, the best choice is A.
