Question

Which of the following is an example of a research topic that is too broad?

A) All about hip-hop music
B) Hip-hop and the voice of outrage
C) Rhyme and meter in hip-hop music
D Block parties and the origins of hip-hop

Answer 1

A, All about hip-hop music.

Choice A is a more broad research topic because just tells about hip-hop in general, rather than focusing on a certain aspect of hip-hop.

Choices B, C, D, on the other hand, focus more on how hip-hop is “[a] voice of outrage,” hip-hop’s rhyme and meter, and how hip-hip originated from block parties. They focus on specific things related to hip-hop.
