What might one do if they are seeking to interrogate someone?

Approach them casually
Ask them questions
Invite them to relax
Dismiss their concerns

The correct answer is: Ask them questions

Seeking to interrogate someone fundamentally involves gathering information, which is most effectively achieved through asking questions. This action is at the core of an interrogation process, where the goal is to extract detailed answers that can clarify a situation or uncover truths. While casually approaching someone can create a more comfortable atmosphere, and inviting them to relax might make them more open to discussion, these approaches do not directly address the intent of an interrogation—seeking specific information through direct questioning. Dismissing their concerns also detracts from the process, as it could lead to resistance rather than cooperation. Effective interrogation hinges on the ability to ask clear, probing questions that encourage the person to convey information in a thorough and honest manner.
