=== === 'A Living Answer' is a very beautiful phrase that is often used by the writers who rejoice in literary aestheticism.
For example a person wants to know why God has made night more beautiful and peaceful than day and suddenly he sees a young couple moving along a deserted road, under the starry night, in the quietness, the couple becomes a living answer.
We can interpret it in this way that when it is not possible to find an answer in words and the living objects become answers, it is called a living answer.
In your question the curate was good at this art of putting forward certain characters from the famous novel 'Wuthering Heights' as living answers.
---- "Living" meant the parish and the house and the annual salary which was given to the curate, often by the lord of the manor. Curates were often very poor, so they were forced to take extra work to boost their salaries. This curate made the living "answer" by teaching children. I think "answer" means he made the living tolerable.
