Some notions of the logic of questions (presupposition of a question, validation, entailment) are used for defining certain kinds of completeness of elementary theories. Presuppositional completeness, closely related to ω-completeness ([3], [6]), is shown to be fulfilled by strong elementary theories like Peano arithmetic.
