UCLA questions admitting persons who are hired to say “Yes, Sir” (7)
I believe the answer is:
claques
'persons who are hired to say yes sir' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'ucla questions admitting' is the wordplay.
'admitting' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'admits' mean this).
'CLAQUES' can be found hidden inside 'ucla questions'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
