Salesperson responsible about carbon OK for making copies (10)
I believe the answer is:
replicable
'ok for making copies' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'salesperson responsible about carbon' is the wordplay.
'salesperson' becomes 'rep' (sales rep).
'responsible' becomes 'liable' (similar in meaning).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'carbon' becomes 'C' (C is the chemical symbol for carbon).
'liable' enclosing 'c' is 'licable'.
'rep'+'licable'='REPLICABLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
