What alternative fuels offer our best prospects in the next ten years?


How do the symptoms of a heart attack differ from those of a stroke?


How many American jobs pay only the minimum wage and offer no benefits?



Please include a reason for why you chose a response

Answer 1

The answer should be C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. What have been the achievements of the American space program?

This question is too broad, containing all of the achievements of a large program.

B. What alternative fuels offer our best prospects in the next ten years?

This is also too broad, asking about the next ten years.

C. How do the symptoms of a heart attack differ from those of a stroke?

This is the answer because you are asking about a fact that many people do not know, (and might want to know) the answer to. Not too broad, nor too narrow.

D. How many American jobs pay only the minimum wage and offer no benefits?

This question asks about all of America, and that is very broad.
