2. Open-ended questions are questions that cannot be answered “yes” or “no”, they require some kind of explanation (“What is your opinion on this issue?”, “Why do you think the measures taken are insufficient?”).

3. Rhetorical questions - these questions are not directly answered, because their goal is to raise new questions and point out unresolved issues and provide support for our position on the part of the participants in the conversation through tacit approval (“Are we unanimous on this issue?”).

4. Tipping issues - keep the conversation in a strictly established direction or raise a whole range of new problems. ("How do you imagine the structure and distribution ...?").
