What should I do if there is an exact dupe to a question which I answered but not accepted/upvoted? Couldn't flag it being "unanswered". I believe I shouldn't answer it. Should I just comment to see that question instead?

so that you can learn to read and learn things, and keep learning for the rest of your life

no, school teaches you the habit of learning....like "teach a man to fish, that feeds him for a lifetime"
