Глагол "отвечать" (на вопрос).
Какой глагол более уместно использовать "to reply" или "to answer"? Помню в школе/колледже учитель всегда говорил "answer the question", но я более часто слышу "reply" в английской речи.

Question

Answer

Answer the question.
Reply to the question. (You need "to".)

For a direct command, "answer" is better. That's probably why your teacher used it.
