Presses on, somehow obtaining answers (9)
I believe the answer is:
responses
'answers' is the definition.
('response' can be a synonym of 'answer')
'presses on somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'presses'+'on'='presseson'
'presseson' anagrammed gives 'RESPONSES'.
'obtaining' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for responses that I've seen before include "feedback!" , "Answers" .)
