# data[].attributes.body
Review the questions that you asked. Find at least one to label “C” for closed-ended and at least one to label “O” for open-ended.

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

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