Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Open-ended questions are designed to allow respondents to answer in their own words and provide detailed responses. This makes them ideal for gathering preliminary information and exploring a topic in more depth. They also require more effort and time from the respondent, and are not as easily tabulated or compared to other types of questions. They can be used in both small and large sample sizes. Option A is incorrect because open-ended questions cannot be answered in a "yes" or "no" fashion. Option B is incorrect because open-ended questions are not easy to tabulate and compare due to the variability in responses. Option D is incorrect because the applicability of open-ended questions is not dependent on sample size.
