Correct Answer Explanation

When there are only two possible answers — 'Yes' or 'No', the question is called a Two-Way Question. It is a type of closed-ended (structured) question.

Key Points:
  • Closed-ended questions can be two-way (Yes/No) or multiple choice.
  • Multiple choice questions are used when more than two answer options are possible.
  • Open-ended questions allow free-form responses and are harder to score.
  • Closed-ended questions are easy to use, score and codify for analysis.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • A. Open-ended: These allow individualized free responses.
  • B. Multiple choice: These have more than two possible answer options.
  • D. Leading questions: These give a clue about how the respondent should answer — a poor question design.
