Step 1 of 4
- A checkable question and an opinion question.
- The checkable one has a test. A test can check it.
- The opinion one has no test. Nothing can check it.
- Checkable means you can test it.
Checkable question — a question you can test. You watch, measure or try it.
Example: does a plant lean more toward a bright window? Move the plant, watch it, and measure the lean.
"Is mango the tastiest fruit?" has no test. Two people can answer it differently. That is an opinion: what one person thinks or likes.
