Definition
答卷 literally means 'answer sheet' or 'completed exam paper', but it has an important extended metaphorical use in Chinese: it can refer to the 'answers' or 'performance' people give in life, work, or history — how they respond to challenges. You'll see it in phrases like 交出满意答卷 ('deliver a satisfactory answer/performance').
