Which of the following is a closed question?

  1. Who attacked you?

  2. Describe to me what you saw?

  3. How did the accident happen?

  4. Is it true the car hit the truck after running the red light?

The correct answer is: Is it true the car hit the truck after running the red light?

"D. Is it true the car hit the truck after running the red light?" is a closed question because it necessitates a binary response, generally a "yes" or "no". Closed questions are formulated specifically to require a brief, concise response. These types of questions don't encourage a discussion nor do they demand further details, unlike open-ended inquiries. This is why, according to Ontario Security Guard practice, "D. Is it true the car hit the truck after running the red light?" is a closed question because it only permits a simple affirmative or negative response.
