You have been kidnapped and are being held hostage by a man. He tells you that he is going to go out on the street and asks the first person he meets a question of your choosing. If the person answers correctly you will be freed and taken care of financially for the rest of your life. If they answer incorrectly you will be killed. The question must have a clear and objectively correct answer. What question do you ask?

Do you wish to be the little girl?

Pretty simple, ask them the empty question,
>"Why?"
What? When? Where? and just "?" as a gesture also work.
If a question can be answered incorrectly then you die no matter what. So you must ask the empty questions, which objectively accept any answer as the correct answer, including another question or no answer.
>The question must have a clear and objectively correct answer
If this is supposed to be the exception that proves the claim, eg:
>The question must have at least one clear and objectively incorrect answer
Then you could die, and there is no maximal answer, only different strategies, which now enters a paradox*. Your puzzle fails to define correctness or incorrectness, this loophole is the only way you can survive. Assuming free will, a person might answer incorrectly to a question with correct answers, your question should be such that any answer or no answer must necessarily be correct, through your own self-consistent internal definition of correct, which is "all null imperatives satisfy the condition of no wrong answer."
>*"What is the right question to ask?" Is a question to ask, with no objectively correct answer other than itself, but it is simply an empty question, and now you are looping for eternity asking What
