close-ended questions

Close-ended questions are those that require a specific, limited type of response, often "yes" or "no," or selecting from multiple options. They are used to gather clear, straightforward data quickly and are common in surveys and questionnaires. Because of their structure, they make analysis easy but don’t provide detailed insights beyond the options given. For example, asking "Did you enjoy the event?" with options "Yes" or "No" is a close-ended question. They are useful when seeking quantifiable information or quick answers.
