What differentiates expensive cuts from cheaper ones?

[Jackson6612]

Are the both sentences correct as interrogative statements?

1 - What differentiates expensive cuts from cheaper ones?
2 - What does differentiate expensive cuts from cheaper ones?

[Beeesneees]

The first example is the most commonly correct one, Jackson.

The second is possible, but only where you wish to emphasise the question. For example:

"You are wrong. That's not the difference between cheap and expensive cuts."
"Well then, what does differentiate expensive cuts from cheaper ones?"
