ask

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'question' is the definition.
(asking a question)

'repeated in texas kansas kentucky and alaska' is the wordplay.
'ASK' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ask that I've seen before include "Pose" , "Invite (to a party)" , "Enquire" , "Seek an answer" , "Something demanded" .)
