To measure support for extended hours, the citizen visits neighborhood homes and asks adults the following: "Would you agree that the closing time of the library should be extended by one hour on weekdays to accommodate working families?” Of the 212 adults surveyed, 86 percent agreed with the statement. Which of the following statements about the results is true?
Answer
A

B
The survey suffers from question wording bias and may not represent true support for the extended hours.
C
