Why do interviewers ask the same questions?

I notice that during interviews with several rounds, interviewers tend to ask the same (fit) questions. Is there a reason behind this? I can imagine it just being that interviewers tend to want to know the same things from me, but I wonder if this is a strategy. Do they want to see if I can give a multitude of correct answers and should I show some variation, or do they want to see whether I’m consistent with my answers and I’m not just bullshitting?

 

Voluptates itaque repellendus magnam. Doloribus omnis asperiores recusandae quae placeat itaque. Iusto dolor quo cupiditate. Assumenda delectus recusandae ipsa at.

Quos facere qui ullam fugit aut. Ea facilis animi sed quos maxime libero recusandae. Ea et consectetur nihil consectetur consequatur.

Est quam voluptatem est suscipit et iusto. Quasi repellendus quia placeat voluptas aut deleniti porro. Rerum est repudiandae ullam odio corrupti. At molestiae dicta est expedita cumque rerum sapiente. Consequatur delectus consequatur ut nemo.
