Giovanna · Answer 1

The correct answer is: Dichotomous

Explanation:

A dichotomy is the division into two parts of a thing, or failing that, it is a set or system that is subject to bipartition, and that generally oppose each other.

In traditional logic, dichotomy is the breakdown or fractionation of a generic concept into one of its specific concepts and its denial. The concept also refers to the law that states that no proposition can be true and false at the same time.

A Dichotomous Question.

Explanation:

First, let us start by defining what dichotomy is:

- Dichotomy is a division or contrast between two things that are entirely different or are opposites in nature.

With that definition in mind, we can therefore define a Dichotomous Question as follows:

- Dichotomous Questions are used in research, that have just two possible answers, and these two answers represent ideas or concepts that are different or opposites. For instance, in a gender question we have, Male/Female. Other examples include Yes/No, Agree/Disagree, True/False.

Therefore, a Dichotomous Question is used in the scenario given in the question above.
