Which type of question typically concludes a conversation?

Open-ended questions
Closed-ended questions
Leading questions
Funnel questions

The correct answer is: Closed-ended questions

Closed-ended questions are designed to elicit specific responses, often requiring a simple "yes" or "no" answer or a choice between predetermined options. This format is particularly effective for concluding a conversation as it allows the coach to gather concise information or verify understanding before wrapping up. For example, asking, "Do you feel that you have enough information to move forward?" closes the dialogue by soliciting a definitive response. Open-ended questions, in contrast, invite elaboration and discussion, thereby encouraging further dialogue instead of concluding it. Leading questions suggest a desired response and can skew the conversation direction, while funnel questions build on previous responses to dig deeper rather than wrapping things up. Therefore, closed-ended questions serve a unique role in summarizing or closing a conversation by prompting a clear final response.
