Critical thinking lesson 4: Clarifying questions · Set 978 · 40 questions

Thinking tip (Ask before you guess): Clear: “Meet at the main gate at 4:30 PM.” Unclear: “Meet me there later.” — where? when? Clarifying questions ask for the missing detail: “Which page, please?”, “Do you mean Friday?”, “How many do I bring?” Not clarifying: “Can I go home now?”, “What’s for lunch?” — they do not help you understand the task.
