Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Define open-ended questions as questions that permit respondents to answer using their own words rather than choosing responses from set categories.
2. Discuss the negatives and/or positives associated with asking open-ended questions. Negatives include the acknowledgment that open-ended questions are harder to record and compare, and positives include the acknowledgment that they allow respondents to express their views more fully and clearly.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Note that voter turnout in the United States is lower than in many other democratic governments and that some people have expressed concern about this.
2. Explain Ranney's statement as emphasizing the fact that nonvoting is voluntary and that it is not problematic as long as nonvoters closely resemble voters in their policy views.
