The correct answer is the following: <em>option C. An example of a close-ended question would be "have you ever gone fishing?".</em> A close-ended question is a type of question that can be answered by a simple "yes" or a "no". Open questions are those that require more thought and that can not be answered with only one affirmative or negative word. "Have you ever gone fishing" is a close-ended question as it has only two possible answers: yes or no.
