A person who answers questions in a survey, poll, or interview.
用法パターン：
a respondent in [a survey/poll/study]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use *answerer* instead of *respondent* in formal writing about surveys. *Answerer* is grammatically possible but sounds unusual and informal in this context; *respondent* is the standard term in research and news reports.
類義語
participant (More general; can be anyone taking part in a study or activity, not only someone who answers questions.)
