Rulings
Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
Loyalty abilities are a type of activated ability, so Hold for Questioning will prevent an enchanted planeswalker's loyalty abilities being activated.
Static and triggered abilities are unaffected by Hold for Questioning.
The permanent can be untapped by other spells and abilities.
You can enchant a permanent that is already tapped with Hold for Questioning. If you do, it doesn't become tapped again, but you will still investigate.
