When you create a survey you have a list of question types.
Single Select.

This type is used for a simple question like:
Do you like coffee -Yes/No
Which one do you prefer: movies or books?
Choose a date for the New Year party.
So you have a question with a set of answers and employees just need to choose ONE.
Multiple Select
this type allows employees to choose several answers.

Single Text Box
This is just a field to answer a question in your own words. It can be combined with other question types.
For example: if you ask "Do you have the materials and equipment to do your work right?"
this is a simple select - yes/no.
And you don't need to create another survey to ask "What do you need", just add an additional single text box question:
What equipment do you need?
