person who answers survey questions
A person who answers questions in a survey, poll, or interview.
Mẫu sử dụng:
a respondent in [a survey/poll/study]
Lỗi thường gặp:
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.
Từ đồng nghĩa
participant (More general; can be anyone taking part in a study or activity, not only someone who answers questions.)
Từ trái nghĩa
researcher (Names the person who asks and designs the questions, the opposite role to the respondent.)

the respondent in [a case/appeal/proceeding]
