I am just looking for the layman definition....i started thinking about this word, and now i have confused myself.
I know it sounds dumb, but it is really bothering me now.
Basically, a question is interrogative sentence or the inquiry being expressed by the sentence, i get that...no problems
But isn't the answer basically the information wanted or requested by the question. I mean i alwasy thought the answer was the solution. But when i read the defintions, they make it sound as if it is the physical written words or spoken words that are the asnwer.......isn't the defintion of "ANSWER" mean the solution or information expressed by spoken words or a written sentence in response to a question?
OR can it be both?
Just stuck, please help.
Thanks
Kevin
