Think about the following news items and label each as involving a what, how, or for whom question:

What will be an ideal response?

• Today, most stores use computers to keep their inventory records, whereas 20 years ago most stores used paper records.
Stores using computers for inventory records today versus paper 20 years ago answers the how question.
• Health-care professionals and drug companies recommend that Me-dicaid drug rebates be made available to everyone in need.
Deciding whether to offer lower Medicaid drug rebates, which would lower the prices for drugs, is a for whom question.
• A doubling of the gas tax might lead to a better public transit system.
Deciding whether a better public transit system gets built answers a what question. Because not everyone will use the public transportation equally nor will everyone pay the same amount of taxes, there also is a for whom aspect of the headline.
