Detailed explanation-1: -The advantages of open-ended questions are that they gather opinions and thoughts from respondents, offering much deeper, more thorough, often subjective information.
Detailed explanation-2: -Multiple choice test items are less susceptible to guessing than true/false questions, making them a more reliable means of assessment. The reliability is enhanced when the number of MC items focused on a single learning objective is increased.
Detailed explanation-3: -The advantages of open ended questions are that they are regarded by respondents as less threatening, and also, they allow them to give unrestrained or free responses; such questions can be very useful with articulate users.
Detailed explanation-4: -Open-ended questions are broad and can be answered in detail (e.g. “What do you think about this product?"), while closed-ended questions are narrow in focus and usually answered with a single word or a pick from limited multiple-choice options (e.g. “Are you satisfied with this product?” → Yes/No/Mostly/Not quite).
