1. My first question was who was Socrates?
2. What was Socrates known for? How Did Socrates help shape Philosophy? What do Socrates and Plato have to do with each other? Why was Socrates so significant to understand Ancient Greece?
3. Each question took me to the next. I asked who Socrates was; when I came up with that question, I then began to ask why he was important to philosophy, because every source told me he contributed to the foundation of philosophy.
4. Yes, I would say my last question was more complex, because it was no longer who was Socrates, but who was he and WHY was he important in Ancient Greece. I could continue with this question to make an even more complex question.
5. During Socrates time, was were the major events going on that encouraged him to ask questions and therefore develop the idea of philosophy?

The place where you make the "leap" to a complex question is when you ask why Socrates was important to philosophy. That leads to questions about how you define the "foundation" of philosophy. I also like the way you question the major events going on in his life. Those would have influenced him, too.
