How do I call a JavaScript function from a website's source?

There exists a quiz website that requires the submission of an answer before the correct one is revealed. I did some digging into the website's JavaScript and found this function:

    function getAnswer(curCard) {
      var answer = void 0;
      if (curCard.testTerm) {
        answer = curCard.testTerm;
      } else {
        answer = curCard.choices[curCard.correctAnswerIndex];
      }
      return answer;
    }

I want to use the Chrome developer console to invoke this function but I am met with this error:

VM3133:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: getAnswer is not defined
    at <anonymous>:1:1

This function is deep within the webpage's source and the .js file itself is like 10k lines of code. I am 99% sure this is a scoping issue and do not know how to get into the proper scope so that I can call this function.
