Review the questions that you asked. Find at least one to label “C” for closed-ended or and at least one to label “O” for open-ended.

Closed-ended: can be answered with “yes” or “no” or with one word.

Open-ended: require an explanation and cannot be answered with "yes”, “no”, or one word.

Then, edit your post using the pencil symbol and in the "write something" section, next to your initials, label it C or O.

(optional) Use the Add Comment chat box icon for this post, if you'd like to share an advantage or disadvantage you see for Open and/or Closed questions.  Add your first and last initial after any comments that you make.
