This is a great post... I had to look it up!!!
An 'Alternative Question' is a question that presents two or more possible answers and presupposes that only one is true.
Example... "Would you like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream?"
So in this case, both 'yes' and 'no' would be the wrong answer and there is no answer that is "more correct" than the others- hence no wrong answer.
How fun!!!

The answer is MUTE. If there is no correct answer maybe you are asking in the wrong way or wanting or expecting an answer to something where there is none. THere is no rule of thumb that says we have all the answers all the time. They just lay MUTE.

is the sky blue? In all reality the sky doesnt have a color. It's an optical illusion created by the refraction of light off of molecules in the atmosphere

The answer would be Maybe. Don't know what the question would be.

The answer would be "I don't know," and the question could be anything that fits that. :)

I think you are talking about a rhetorical question.
