'do something?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes mean the same thing.

'how one used the microphone and coaxed listeners to' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'to' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
