Your friend is doing a survey. In other words, your fried is asking questions. So, your friend has asked you a question about what kind of questions you would like answered. So, you have answered with a question on "what kind of questions do you want to use...?" By this time I can't figure out who the "you" is in the question.

Also, am not sure if we are being asked to provide questions or provide answers.
