Which of the following is an example of an Expanded Probing Question?

• A. Could you walk me through an example of how this would work?
• B. Tell me more ...
• C. What is your typical timeline for implementing a new solution?
• D. Describe the latest change you made to address this problem?

Answer: (B)

Expanded Probing Questions invite more detail and context after an initial response, prompting the other person to elaborate across multiple aspects—facts, implications, feelings, and outcomes. The phrasing “Tell me more …” does this best because it keeps the conversation open, signals genuine curiosity, and encourages the speaker to share additional specifics, pain points, and motivations without steering them toward a particular path.

The other options tend to narrow the discussion: asking for a walk-through asks for a concrete scenario, which can limit exploration to how something would function rather than why it matters; querying a typical timeline focuses on scheduling and selection criteria rather than expanding on the underlying situation; requesting the latest change invites a descriptive update about past actions, which again narrows the field to what happened rather than uncovering deeper context.
