How many differences

0Hi,02br
02br
00I am perplexed as to why one would ask by saying "What are the differences?" when almost all the time (I think), we can say the exactly the same things by just singularizing (?) the question like "01i00What is the difference?"02i02br
02br
00Another one, do I need to place a period and if I need to, where must I when the sentence has ended with a question in quotations like the one above? 0-

0 But if you don't know how many differences there are, you can also ask "What is the difference?". The "difference" could then be a whole list of things. For example,02br
01i02br
00 What is the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism?02i02br
02br
00 I think most people use the singular when asking about the difference(s) bet
