C. What is the best hip-hop music and who are the best artists?
D. What are the factors that cause people to like hip-hop music?

Answer 1

We need a question that isn't too narrow, and isn't too broad.

For example:

"What started WWII?" is too broad (needs a book to be answered properly), and "What is a general in military?" is too narrow (can be answered in a sentence).

With this information, answer A is incorrect, too narrow.

Answer B is a good question that can lead to more smaller questions and lead to some good paragraphs.

Answer C is incorrect, being too narrow.

And finally answer D is incorrect being too broad a subject to talk about, too complex if you want to explain it properly.

Answer B is the correct answer choice for this question.

Answer 2

The Best question for starting a research Hip-Hop music is: What kind of music is defined as Hip-Hop music?

The answer lead us to know the origins, this cultural movement is composed of a group of diciplines: DJ, grafitti, MC and break dance.

This urban movement was created since 70's by the african-americans on the Bronx's streets in New York. And its main characteristic is that the lyrics of the songs are rhymes.
