ABSTRACT
Probing was defined as everything that the interviewer does after presenting the opening question in order to get a satisfactory answer. Minor modifications to the formulations contained in the interview guide are sometimes warranted whenever they make questions easier to understand. Presenting a question effectively means communicating its contents in a way that is understandable. The interviewer might ask a question in a manner that surprises the interviewee. A leading question is a question asked in such a way that, in answering it, one of its possible answers is more readily given than the others are. In asking such questions, interviewers exceed the bounds of their authority by allowing their demeanour to affect the content of the interviewee’s answers when such content is supposed to be left entirely to the discretion of the interviewee. The first interviewer refers to government policy in order to clarify the question being asked.
