asks how options differ or which fits better
asks what facts or examples support the claim
tests what is being taken for granted
defines boundaries, constraints, or what is in or out
clarifies the outcome someone actually wants
moves discussion toward a concrete choice
asks what matters most right now
nudges the other person toward one answer
