A typical example of a Question with the Answer Option Type Text is:

Ordered defines an order over all answer options. In this case e.g. "Mountain biking" is not smaller or less than "Racing biking". The Answer Options are totally independent and equivalent.
Continuous Numeric is disabled because the selected product attribute is not from type "Number".
Boolean would remove all existing Answer Options because it is designed to have only a "true" and a an implicit "false" state.

title	Further examples: Why other configurations would not make sense for the "activities" Question

The Answer Options are not Ordered (e.g. "Cruising in the city" is just as good as "Mountain biking") between the different Answer Options.
- Technically, it would be possible to set the Answer Option Type to Ordered; however this would not make sense since it might influence the recommendation behavior.
  The recommendation behavior or Ordered Answer Options could prefer "neighboring" Answer Options. However, if the user selected e.g. "cruising in the city", the neighbor Answer Option "mountain biking" is not a better alternative than the "more distant" Answer Option "racing bikes" .
They are obviously not Numeric since it is all plain text Answer Options.
And they are not Boolean because they are not "yes/no" or "true/false"-pairs.
