Answer 6

I'm not really sure; simple randoming?

Answer 7

@mcelroyian ?

Answer 8

"Don't you ___" is the key phrase to bias-ness, because of the way it's stated (For a further explanation, check out "Reverse Psychology"), so if any sentence has that it is pretty much automatically biased.
"Do you think", it doesn't have "Don't you ___", but "think" is asking for opinion.

Answer 9

Well simple randoming introduces bias inbetween the sample being questioned and the sample who you are targeting. Is this the case here?

Answer 10

@BlueDawn Thanks for explaining it like that but do you agree, is also asking for an opinion.

& I believe so @mcelroyian

Answer 11

Well blue dawn was correct. The problems with the other questions is in how they are phrased. Asking for an opinion is ok, but the problem is the way they phrased the question is confusing. Dont is negative but should is positive so no matter how they respond you don't know whether they were responding to the negative on don't or the positive of should.

Answer 12

And the last question is multiple choice. How can you know which option they were responding too? Do they want to plant gardens or park benches?

Answer 13

Thank you so much for this explanation. But what did you mean by blue dawn?

Answer 14

Oh nvm your talking about the blue dawn user
