Question

question 10 points 3 a student begins with the question: how has climate change affected the environment? the teacher says this question is too broad. which revision best demonstrates the students ability to narrow the inquiry appropriately? how has climate change affected every country in the world? how has climate change influenced agricultural crop yields in the midwest over the last 20 years? why is climate change bad for people? what do people think about climate change?

Explanation:

• The original question "How has climate change affected the environment?" is too broad as the environment is a vast concept.
• The option "How has climate change influenced agricultural crop yields in the Midwest over the last 20 years?" narrows the scope by specifying a particular aspect (agricultural crop yields), a specific region (the Midwest), and a time frame (the last 20 years).
• The option "How has climate change affected every country in the world?" is even broader than the original question as it considers every country.
• The option "Why is climate change bad for people?" is a different type of question (asking for a reason rather than an effect on a specific part of the environment).
• The option "What do people think about climate change?" is about people's opinions, not about the effect of climate change on the environment.

Answer:

"How has climate change influenced agricultural crop yields in the Midwest over the last 20 years?"
