either-or questions
Two-choice queries
Either-or questions present exactly two options and ask you to choose between them: Coffee or tea?
Are you coming or not?
The format forces a binary choice, which can clarify decisions but also create false dilemmas when more options exist.
In logic and philosophy, either-or thinking is sometimes called black-and-white reasoning.
