Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Closed-ended questions provide a list of options for respondents to choose from, whereas open-ended questions allow respondents to provide their own answer without any options provided. Double-barreled questions ask about multiple topics within the same question, and an invalid study would have other issues with its design or methodology.
