 * Is it possible to include multiple arguments for $query->set()? At the moment
   I just have a single argument of:
 * `$query->set('posts_per_page', 1);`
 * However I need to have more than one argument, does the query accept them?

 * `$query->set` changes one query variable only.

 * Can I ask what you are trying to do? There are ways to make more global changes
   to the query either by using filters like `posts_fields`, `posts_where`, `posts_limits`,
   etc. or by creating a new query altogether.
