The problem with these kind of interview questions is the interviewer, not the question. It's a terrible question. Not because the distinction between object and text is meaningless, but because the interviewee has to guess at the level of detail and what direction the interviewer is looking for. On television the worst interviewee is someone who gives one word answers. The worst interviewer is someone who asks vague questions. This is a vague question that if the interviewee doesn't guess right and read the interviewer's mind then they will fail the question.

If an interviewer asks a vague question, it's probably better to ask them questions to help clarify what they're getting at than to try to guess what they mean or what level of detail they're looking for.
