Question

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition


Smoking contributes to air pollution.
a. Too narrow
b. Too broad
c. Just right

Answer 1

b. Too broad

While this maybe true. It's way too broad of a statement to conclude.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: B. Too broad

As a general rule, a definition is considered as 'too broad' if the definition contain things that are not referents of the concept or does not necessarily explain why it's correlated with the concept. In the statement above, the writer of that statement did not include how or in what way smoking contributes to the air pollution.
