Goodstudent: Which fruit do you like?
Tom: I like apples!
Goodstudent: Why do you like apples?
Tom: I like apples because they are delicious!
After asking a question (for example: which fruit do you like?), I want to know the reason too.
So how should I say it?
I am not sure how to say it, I want to say something like:
Which fruit do you like? State reasons if any? / Any reasons? / Explain your choice
"State reasons if any? / Any reasons? / Explain your choice" seems wrong? Any better suggestions?
Thanks

I am asking a question. I mean it in written form. The other person will just take the form and fill in the answers
Is it correct to write:
Which fruit do you like? State reasons if any?
Which fruit do you like? Any reasons?
Which fruit do you like? Write your reason if any?
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
Possibly: "State which fruit you like and the reason, if any, for your preference".
I'm not sure that you need "if any", I think everyone will have some reason, even if it's just "it tastes better".
