# Good Answerable Questions

A good answerable question fulfills at least one of the following:

1. Uses different words than the ones in the passage.
2. Uses different sentence structure than the passage.
3. Requires knowledge about the world.
4. Requires logic and several steps of reasoning based on the whole passage.

Below are some examples of good and bad answerable questions:

# ✅ Good Example

... By the end of the embargo in March 1974, the price of oil had risen from US$3 per barrel to nearly $12 globally; US prices were significantly higher. ...

❓ What was the global price of oil in March of 1974?

✅ This is a good answerable question. The answer is in the text, but the question uses different wording and grammar than the original passage.

# ✅ Good Example

... It [the oil crisis] was later called the "first oil shock", followed by the 1979 oil crisis, termed the "second oil shock.

❓ What was another term used for the oil crisis?

✅ This is a good answerable question. It can be answered from the passage, but doesn't copy it exactly.

# ❌ Bad Example

Southern California, often abbreviated SoCal, is a geographic and cultural region that generally comprises California's southernmost 10 counties...

❓ What is southern California often abbreviated as?

❌ The question is too similar to the passage. It would be better to paraphrase it e.g. What is a short form of southern California?

# ❌ Bad Example

... Southern California is a major economic center for the state of California and the United States.

❓ What is the most important economic center for the state of California?

❌ The question is very similar to the text; also, it is not clearly answerable from the text. The text only mentions that Southern California is a major economic center but this does not mean it is the most important one.
