Asked questions of confused dopes (5)
I believe the answer is:
posed
'asked questions' is the definition.
'posed' can be an answer for 'asked' ('pose' can be a synonym of 'ask'). I am unsure of the 'questions' bit.
'confused dopes' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dopes' anagrammed gives 'POSED'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for posed that I've seen before include "Presented (a problem)" , "Sat (for artist)" , "Struck attitude, perhaps for painter" , "Struck attitude - sat for painter" , "Was a model" .)
