Question

alison: dont you think it is disrespectful for tourists to get traditional tattoos, especially if they dont know the meaning behind them? which of the following best describes this interview question? it asks a \yes/no\ question. it asks a question that alison should have looked up already. it enters alison and the interviewee into a debate rather than gathering information. it is a clear question that draws out longer or more specific answers.

Explanation:

Alison's question "Don't you think it is disrespectful..." is a leading question that can lead to a debate (as it presents a stance - that tourists getting traditional tattoos without knowing meaning is disrespectful) rather than just gathering neutral information. A "yes/no" question would be more straightforward like "Is it disrespectful...". The question is not about something Alison should have looked up (no indication of prior research failure). And it's not a clear question for longer/specific answers in a neutral gathering - information sense as it has an implied opinion.

Answer:

It enters Alison and the interviewee into a debate rather than gathering information.
