The difference between open-ended and closed-ended answers are that closed-ended answers are specific and have a limited amount of answers or choices to choose from, whereas open-ended answers are more broad and vague like the ones I have included above.

 

The Siri chat box we will then create will choose, when asked a question, a random answer out of the 11 choices I have written above. The answers I have wrote are open-ended answers.
