question 13 of 20
imagine you wanted to research this question:
which countries cause the most pollution?
how could you best restate this question to encourage yourself to ask questions rather than simply collect information?

a. which country causes more pollution, the united states or canada?
b. do large countries or small countries produce more pollution?
c. how does a country’s population size contribute to its levels of air pollution?
d. what are the main causes of air pollution in large and small countries?

Explanation:

To encourage asking questions (not just collecting info), the restated question should explore relationships or factors. Option C asks how population size contributes to air pollution, which is an exploratory, question - prompting inquiry. Option A is a simple comparison (collecting info), B is a simple comparison of country sizes, and D focuses on causes in different country sizes (more about causes than exploring a relationship to encourage questioning).

Answer:

C. How does a country's population size contribute to its levels of air pollution?
