I'd like to know what "acknowledged" means here. Does it mean "to tell or show someone that something has been received"?

 

[Cagey]

No; it means that they will not let you know whether they received it.

 

[Wookie]

So, "acknowledge" means to "tell or show someone that something has been received", right?

 

[Cagey]

In this context, it does.

Yes, you are right.

 

[GreenWhiteBlue]

Yes, you are right.

Not quite. "Acknowledge" may mean that in this specific sentence, but it certainly does not have that meaning in every context.

“Yes, you are right” was the correct answer to the question. I didn’t say that acknowledge only has that meaning, I agreed that it has that meaning.
