James Strubel is a young attorney who is reviewing a proposed research survey to be used in an upcoming trial. The case involves potential deceptive advertising claims made in a TV commercial advertising over-the-counter (i.e., nonprescription) medicine by the defendant firm. James is commissioning research to determine consumers' understanding of the claims after they have watched the TV commercial. James wants to separate respondents into two categories: (a) those who recall having actually seen the TV commercial and (b) those who do not recall having seen it. For those who do not recall having seen the commercial, they will be asked to view it before asking questions about their beliefs of the claims made. James views the questionnaire proposed by the research firm. One of the questions is: 3. Do you recall having watched a TV commercial featuring XYZ, a pain reliever for arthritis? If "yes," continue. If "no," go to Question 12. This question would be considered a(n):
A) disguised question.
B) skip question.
C) screening question.
D) undisguised question.
E) classification question.
Answer: b. skip question
