What type of question makes a conversation more open and useful?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: How would you solve this problem?
Option A is an open-ended question because “how” invites the person to explain methods, reasons, and possible solutions. Such questions encourage fuller participation and provide more useful information. Options B and D are generally closed questions that can be answered with yes or no, while C explicitly limits the response to two possibilities. Thus A best supports an open conversation.
