Глагол to reply и существительное a reply имеют значение "отвечать на вопрос, просьбу или замечание", особенно при сообщении о том, что кто-либо сказал: I waited for Smith to reply, but he said nothing я ждал, что ответит Смит, но он ничего не сказал; the jailer refused to reply to the prisoner's question where he was being taken тюремщик отказался отвечать на вопрос узника, куда его везут; we asked Jane to help, but she replied that she was too busy мы попросили Джейн помочь нам, но она ответила, что была слишком занята; Dr. Jones murmured something in reply, but I couldn't hear what it was доктор Джонс пробормотал что-то в ответ, но я не слышал, что он сказал; railway officials say it is not their fault - that is what they usually reply to the customers' complaints железнодорожные служащие, как обычно, говорят в ответ пассажирам, что это не их вина; your mother wrote to you three weeks ago and she's worried because you have not replied ваша мама написала вам три недели тому назад и она беспокоится, так как вы не ответили. To respond to smth, a response имеют значение "отвечать кому-либо на критику или чье-либо несогласие, реагировать каким-либо образом, ответная реакция": how do you respond to the accusation that you deliberately deceived your employers как вы можете ответить на обвинение в том, что вы сознательно/нарочно обманули своих работодателей; he put forward his proposal and sat down waiting for us to respond он изложил свое предложение и сел, ожидая, что мы ответим. To retort используется в значениях отвечать возражением, возражать (обычно резко), огрызаться: I felt tempted to retort that the matter was none of his business мне так и хотелось возразить/резко ответить, что это не его не касается

CHOICE OF WORDS:

Русскому отвечать в английском языке соответствуют глаголы to answer, to reply, to respond, to retort. Они отличаются друг от друга семами, указывающими на что, при каких обстоятельствах и как был дан ответ. В русском языке этим семам соответствуют расширенные словосочетания. To answer - наиболее общее слово, не указывает на характер и обстоятельства ответа: to answer question отвечать на вопросы. To reply - отвечать на вопрос, просьбу, замечание, на то, что сказано: I waited for sam to reply я подождала пока Сэм ответит. To respond - отвечать, откликнуться на критику, возражения, чувства: he didn't respond to her tears and appeal он не реагировал на ее мольбы и слезы. To retort - возражать сердито, иронически, не задумываяь, немедленно: I felt tempted to retort that it was none of his business мне так и хотелось ему отрезать/парировать, что это его никаким образом не касалось
