What does it mean to interrogate someone?

To comfort them
To question or put questions to
To agree with them
To dismiss them

The correct answer is: To question or put questions to

To interrogate someone means to question them or put questions to them, often in a systematic and thorough manner. This term is typically associated with a formal or serious approach to questioning, such as in law enforcement or investigative contexts. The process of interrogation involves asking multiple questions to gather information, clarify details, or obtain confessions. The other options present different actions that do not align with the concept of interrogation. Comforting someone refers to providing solace or support, agreeing with someone means to share the same opinion or view, and dismissing someone involves rejecting or ignoring them. Each of these actions diverges from the focused and often intense nature of interrogation, which is primarily concerned with extracting information through questioning.
