April has no political views about the military or war. She is reading the newspaper that is read by millions of diverse individuals in her region. The paper contains a survey question that has been submitted by a local media outlet and the results will be gathered using a proven statistical method and reported to the public. The question reads, "Do you support the provoked military action by the United States?" Which of the following explains why this question could lead to obtaining poor data?

Hi. You didn't present the answer options, but we can assume that this question may generate insufficient data because it has a manipulative character.

Explanation:

The question "Do you support the provoked military action by the United States?" it is a manipulative question, as it induces the individual to answer a specific type of response that is not always consistent with the individual's real conviction about the subject discussed. This is because the question refers to a military action that was imposed by the government. An imposed military action transmits the feeling of violence and problems, which can cause individuals who hear the question to be induced not to support that action.

This happens because the researcher did not inform in which situation the military action was imposed and left the individual to think only about the negative side of military actions. In this case, the question does not allow the individual to analyze and draw a conclusion, but rather to have a feeling of rejection and negativity, which induces equal responses and leaves the survey data inaccurate.
