Answer to Question 1

Asking good questions is a highly effective way to gather important information about a topic, to probe unspoken assumptions, to clarify issues, and to explore options. Asking good questions promotes strong problem solving and decision making, particularly when we encounter unfamiliar issues or significant problems.
