A survey is a study generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire that providesinformation concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-knownsurveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news duringcampaigns presidential knows, these polls have become an important part of political life inthe United States
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on localtelevision news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are notnecessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of onlythose people who appear at a certain location Thus, such examples can be biased in favor ofcommuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the newspeople select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing toappear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera Asurvey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broadrange of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording ofquestions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people tounderstand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting theresults Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit thetype of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only ifthe sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of theseforms of survey research has its advantages An interview can obtain a high response ratebecause people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than tothrow away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond writtenquestions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaireshave the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

Question 39 According to paragraph 3, two important things for an effective survey are
A Properly done samplings and carefully worded questions
B Specific questions and an interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings
C Simple questions and a high number of respondents
D Understandable questions and a sociologist who is able to interpret the results
Question 40 As can be inferred from the passage, sociologists can be frustrated when
A questionnaires are too difficult to read
B respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
C respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires
D questionnaires are too expensive and difficult to distribute
Question 41 It can be inferred from the passage that
