An EVS teacher asks her students to think and answer "Why do we feel comfortable in woollens clothes during winter". This question is a :
Answer: B
The key calls the question an analytical question.
'Why do we feel comfortable in woollens during winter' asks the child to give a reason and connect cause and effect (wool traps air, air conducts heat poorly, body heat is kept in). Questions that ask for reasons or relationships, rather than for a name or a fact, are treated as analytical.
It is not a factual question, which asks for a single recalled fact (for example, 'Which animal gives wool ?'), and it is not hypothetical, which would begin with 'what if'. Option (1), convergent, is the one a reader might hesitate over, since the underlying explanation has one accepted line of reasoning. I could not find a source that classifies this exact question, so this explanation follows the key and the reasoning-based meaning of 'analytical'.
