give somebody an answer

But he could not give them the answer they wanted.

To all of them he had given the same answer.

He gave his mother the wrong answer at the table.

The President has given us the only answer available to him.

And here was the man who could give him the answer.

He also gave the right answer if someone else asked him a question.

He gave the first answer which came into his head.

Can you give me the answer to the question why?

I've asked around all over the place but no one seems able to give me the answer.

You will only find out after you've given me your answer.
