'for instance' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'she might be presented with bronze' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bronze' could be 'third' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'third' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
