Definition
出题 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to set a question' for exams or 'to assign a topic' for discussions or writing. Since it's a verb-object compound, in sentences with complements or measure words the object 题 separates from 出, e.g., 出了一道题 ('set one question'). The person setting the question is the subject, and the context is often introduced with 给 or 为.
v.o.
to set a question (for an exam or test)to assign a topic (for discussion or writing)
