person who answers survey questions

A person who answers questions in a survey, poll, or interview.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: a respondent in [a survey/poll/study]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
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.

participant (More general; can be anyone taking part in a study or activity, not only someone who answers questions.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
researcher (Names the person who asks and designs the questions, the opposite role to the respondent.)

party answering a legal claim

In law, the person or group that must answer a claim or appeal made by another person or group.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: the respondent in [a case/appeal/proceeding]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes think *respondent* is just a more formal word for *person who answers* in any situation. In legal texts, however, *respondent* has a specific role and should not be used for ordinary situations like answering an email or phone call.
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
defendant (Often used in civil and criminal cases; *respondent* is especially common in appeals, tribunals, and some non-criminal proceedings.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
appellant (The party who brings an appeal, opposite to the respondent who answers that appeal.)
