A Feature specification question requires a short answer. Feature specification questions are formed according to the following abstract specification: "What qualitative attributes does entity X have?"[1] or "What features does X have?"[2]. An example of feature specification question would be: "What are the properties of a bar graph?" [1]

-Explainer: ['And what are you studying?']
-Explainee: ["I'm studying soft matter physics,", 'which involves the physics of squishy stuff.', 'We make microswimmers in the laboratory', 'and we drive them with a laser.']
-Explainer: [And what kind of laser do you use?] ---> Feature specification question
-Explainee: ["We use a 10 watt laser, it's a fiber laser."]
