Posed a question (5)
I believe the answer is:
asked
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">posed a question</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for asked that I've seen before include "Inquired" , "Requested" , "Demanded" , "Enquired; invited" , "Made a request" .)
