Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Ambiguity in survey questions arises from subjective frequency qualifiers that respondents interpret differently. Terms like "Very often", "Quite often", and "Not very often" lack precise definitions, leading to inconsistent data. However, "Not at all" clearly indicates zero frequency without ambiguity.
