The simplest questions implicitly or explicitly request information from a certain range (finite or infinite) of alternatives. When information purporting to be that requested is presented back to the questioner, the question is said to be answered. The information thus presented is called an answer. Answers may be right or wrong. They are wrong if they present false information. If they present information from outside the profferred alternatives, they may be called wrong or simply inappropriate or irrelevant. This depends on the context, as do several other possibilities: Sometimes "I don't know" is an acceptable answer, sometimes even a right answer. The same is true of "None of the above" and "There is no answer." An answer is the, or a, right answer, if it presents true information which falls within the determined range of alternatives. Questions of this simplest sort usually begin with Who, what, which, where, when, does/do, is/are.

Other questions do not so easily fit this mold. For example, questions beginning "Why" and "How" often request any information at all that will alleviate certain confusion in a person who wants to ask that question. Here the manner in which the information is presented might be more important than which information is presented; the questioner may even already know all of the information contained in the right answer, and merely needs it to be expressed in a more useful form.

Would that be possible? There will always be new questions won't there? Old questions will become forgotten and then children will ask them as if they had never been asked before surely? Would we be in trouble if we had no questions to ask? Could we live in a world where there were no questions? Would it not be difficult? As long as there are pizza deliveries will there not always be questions? Is that the 10 inch or the 12? Which topping do you want on that? What's your address?
Have I helped with my answer? Or do you still feel we have very few questions left to ask?

No way. There's so many un-answered questions yet. Sometimes we try to think of one that hasn't been asked yet but put so much thought into it, all we think of are one's already asked. I don't think we will ever run out of questions to ask.
