1.Keep Questions Short and Simple

  their relatively limited capacity for audience
  input.

• This means that questions that are focused with
  shorter answers often have the best legibility,
  which in turn produces the best results with any
  given audience.

2. Maintain a Maximum of Five Answer Options

• Too many answer choices can have just as much of
  a negative effect as complicated questions.

• Allow for no more than five total answer choices
  of any given question.

  choose an answer to ensure that the response
  systems continues to run smoothly.
