Detailed explanation-2: -What is a closed question? Closed questions collect quantitative data. They give the respondent a limited amount of options to choose from. They are popular, as quantitative data is easier to analyse than qualitative data.

Detailed explanation-3: -An open-ended question is a question that cannot be answered with a “yes” or “no” response, or with a static response. Open-ended questions are phrased as a statement which requires a longer response.

Detailed explanation-4: -Closed-ended questions come in a multitude of forms, including: multiple choice, drop down, checkboxes, and ranking questions.
