Questions & Answers about Dia menjawab jujur di depan guru.

What does dia mean here? Is it he, she, or they?

Dia is a third‑person singular pronoun that can mean he or she.
Indonesian pronouns are not marked for gender, so dia is gender‑neutral.
Context (for example, if you know the person’s gender from earlier) tells you whether to translate it as he or she in English.
It does not normally mean they; for they you would use mereka.

What is the role of menjawab and how is it formed?

The base word is jawab, meaning answer (as a noun or verb‑stem).
The prefix meN- turns it into an active verb, so menjawab means to answer / answered / answering, depending on context.
Indonesian verbs don’t change form for tense, so menjawab can cover answers, answered, and is answering; time is understood from context or from extra words like sudah (already), tadi (earlier), akan (will), etc.

Is jujur an adjective or an adverb here? Why is there no -ly‑type ending?
