This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are as follows:
A. She should make her research question more complex.
B. She should make her research question more concise.
C. She should broaden her research question.
D. She should narrow her research question to focus her topic.
Answer:
Bella should revise her research question in the following manner:
B. She should make her research question more concise.
Explanation:
A research question serves to guide the research. It is the question, issue, or problem the research aims to address or answer.
The problem with Bella's research question is that it is too complex. It has two parts, and the second part is a development of the first one. There is no reason for her to keep her question like this. She can simply make it more concise by editing out the second part of the question and using only the first one: "What habitats do blue whales thrive in?" This is the information her paper aims to answer. Knowing what locations are not ideal is just a consequence of knowing which locations are indeed ideal for whales to thrive in.
