What must you ask for when interviewing someone?

1. Permission

2. Their ID

3. For them to be honest

4. For a written statement

The correct answer is: Permission

When conducting an interview, it is important to establish boundaries and respect the individual's privacy. This includes asking for their permission to be interviewed, as it shows respect for their time and allows them to feel comfortable sharing information with you. Asking for their ID or written statement may be necessary depending on the situation, but it is not the first thing you should ask for in an interview. Similarly, while it is important for the individual to be honest in their responses, simply asking for them to be honest is not sufficient for a successful interview. Therefore, the most important thing to ask for when interviewing someone is their permission.
