Superlative questions are a valuable tool used by journalists to get a specific answer out of their interviewees.
Journalists will often start an interview with a superlative question, asking the person what is the best thing they have ever done or what is the most expensive car they have ever bought.
Superlative questions are quite different from comparative questions because they do not just ask for comparisons between two items or people.
