Character, kind learner should follow? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
role model
'character kind learner should follow?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'character kind learner should follow?' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'role' (synonyms).
'kind' becomes 'mode' (I've seen this in another clue).
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'should follow?' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go after others).
'role'+'mode'+'l'='ROLE-MODEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for role model that I've seen before include "One's imitated" , "One worthy of imitation" , "exemplary type" , "One whose example should be followed" , "Person others copy" .)
