Question

A political consultant conducts a survey to determine what position the mayoral candidate she works for should take on a proposed smoking ban in restaurants. Which of the following survey questions will deliver an unbiased response? Should the city ban smoking in restaurants to protect our children from second-hand smoke? Should tobacco smoke, a known cause of lung cancer, be banned from public spaces such as restaurants? Does the city have the right to restrict recreational activities, such as moderate consumption of alcohol or tobacco, on the premises of privately-owned businesses? None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

This is an unbiased question because only general fact is stated and rest is upto the interpretation of the respondent. The other two questions are biased.
