Best Answer

Open-ended questions usually have no real 'right' or 'wrong' question. It's what you think (like an opinion question). Close-ended questions have a definite 'correct' answer.

A closed-ended question has a set of fixed responses. There may or may be a "correct" answer.

A closed question is one that has been answered fully and definitively. This is where the question has obvious limits and an evidential solution. Did I wake up this morning - yes otherwise I would not be typing.

An open question is a question for which no simple answer is available. "Is there a god?", for example, has no answer becasue there are many versions of "god", and there is little definitive evidence for such a thing. All open questions are contentious as many would insist that "god" exists, whereas other would say that "god" is such a confused term that its existence is a logical impossibility.hiya
