Usage : {
Reply }, {
Rejoinder }, {
Answer }.
A reply is a distinct response to a formal question or attack in speech or writing .
A rejoinder is a second reply (
a reply to a reply )
in a protracted discussion or controversy .
The word answer is used in two senses ,
namely (
1 ),
in the most general sense of a mere response ;
as ,
the answer to a question ;
or (
2 ),
in the sense of a decisive and satisfactory confutation of an adversary '
s argument ,
as when we speak of a triumphant answer to the speech or accusations of an opponent .
Here the noun corresponds to a frequent use of the verb ,
as when we say . "
This will answer (
i .
e .,
fully meet )
the end in view ;" "
It answers the purpose ."
