Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The response scale does not allow for expressions of intensity among participants with unfavorable opinions because there is a gap between "fair" and "good," and participants are forced to choose one of the five options without the option of choosing "average" or "neutral." This gap can make it difficult for participants to accurately express their opinions if they are not entirely positive.
