Sat and asked questions (5)
I believe the answer is:
posed
This clue might be a double definition.
'sat' is the first definition.
('pose' can be a synonym of 'sit')
'asked questions' is the second definition.
'posed' can be an answer for 'asked' ('pose' can be a synonym of 'ask'). I am unsure of the 'questions' bit.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for posed that I've seen before include "Took a stance" , "Was a model" , "Presented (a problem)" , "Presented (a question)" , "Positioned" .)
