    Why was "befragen" incorrect - it was suggested.

      It's a verb.

        But "questions" is not a verb in that context.

          Right. That's why "befragen" is wrong.

            But "befragen" is offered as a translation for that word.

              Well, that's how dictionaries work. Not all translations of a word are correct in every context.
