ask
It depends upon the context of the word answer.It could be "problem" or "question".(The verb to answer has no antonym, but the opposites could be to ask or to not answer.)
You would need to find the antonym to bid. In this instance, I would think "question" or "ask" might work. If you bid someone to do something, you tell them to do it.
