See if you can get a job or a place within Paraguay (5)
I believe the answer is:
apply
'see' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'you can get a job or a place within paraguay' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'place' could be 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses) and 'pl' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'if' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apply that I've seen before include "describing the cooker?" , "Agree" , "Put to use" , "Ask (for job)" , "Sue" .)
