TYPES OF QUESTIONS



The man giving instructions, or let me just call him the leader. as he is dividing the participants with the tasks he is asking them questions. he asked one of the members this question:

Whats your name?

This is one of the questions we classify as INTERROGATIVE QUESTIONS. here the leader's intension is to solicit some information from the participants such that the other participant answered back saying "Emily" The other interrogative wuestion he asked is "What did you say?" all he is doing is he wants information from the participants.

This is how we apply critical thinking in our everyday lives without realising that. its just a simple question which is used by a lot of people everyday. little did the leader know that he was applying critical thinking.
