a closed question
an open-ended question

creating trust

Explanation:

Analyze the question type

The question asks to classify the prompt: "How is Jamal's ballet class going?". This question cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" or a single-word response. It invites the respondent to provide a detailed, descriptive answer about Jamal's experience.

Evaluate the options

• a closed question: Closed questions typically limit the respondent to specific, pre-defined choices (like yes/no or multiple choice).
• an open-ended question: Open-ended questions encourage a full, meaningful answer using the subject's own knowledge and/or feelings. "How is... going?" is a classic open-ended prompt.
• a brief report: This is a question, not a report.
• creating trust: While open communication builds trust, the sentence itself is grammatically and functionally a question type.
