Sat and asked a question? (5)
I believe the answer is:
posed
I believe this is a double definition.
'sat' is the first definition.
('pose' can be a synonym of 'sit')
'asked a question?' is the second definition.
(as in posing a question)
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for posed that I've seen before include "Arranged for pictorial purposes" , "Struck attitude - sat for painter" , "Positioned" , "Was a model" , "Modelled" .)
