Reasoning Questions

Reasoning questions help to determine a cause, explanation or justification for someone's findings or conclusion.

• What would be an example of this?
• Why do you say that?
• Why do you think that is right?
• What led you to that belief?
• How does that apply to this case?
• What would convince you otherwise?
• How could we go about finding out if that is true?
• By what reasoning did you come to that conclusion?
• Who is in a position to know if that is the case?
• Are those reasons adequate?
• Could you explain the reasons for your statement ?
