There are four main types of questions: closed questions which have a single correct answer, leading questions which hint at the desired answer, yes or no questions which can only be answered with yes or no, and open questions which require more thought and discussion as the answers are not predefined. Good questions are open-ended, ask what, why, who, when, or how to encourage deeper thinking rather than just facts.

isn’t it?

these questions; “yes” or “No”.

recycle?
