Answer:

Failing to write clear and specific questions can hinder your respondents' ability to answer. The standard is that people should have a consistent understanding of what is being asked of them. If someone could interpret a question differently than you intended, the question can be improved. Avoid ambiguities.

Explanation:

Why does it matter if survey questions are poorly worded? A good questions must be simple, to the point and unbiased. The incorrect choice of words is what makes a questions poorly worded, for example, when you are asking two things at once (in a questions) and expect one answer, that's a poorly worded question.
