I put 'I remember the answer from the director' today and was marked wrong (2/10/19). Should be correct!
I said "I remember the response from the director" and have submitted this as an answer which should have been accepted.
And I put I remember the question of the director. Is that okay also.

No. "The question" in Italian is "la domanda". Hope that helps (even though I'm 10 months late haha.
It sounds wrong in English. It sounds better when you say I remember the director's answer.

My understanding was that "ricordere", when used outside of the infinitive or imperative, is always reflexive. So why isn't the Italian phrase, "Mi ricordo la risposta del direttore."?
I was confused too, but apparently some verbs can be used in either the regular form or the reflexive form http://blogs.transparent.com/italian/reflexive-verbs/
"Mi ricordo" is more like "I remind" or "I myself remember" as opposed to "(io) ricordo" which is more like "I remember."
And it should be "ricordare."
I answered "I remember the answer from the director" Why it was not accepted ? It means the same as "director's answer" And why is our English writing corrected some times ? We are learning Italian not English. Italian should be corrected.
In English "I remember the director's answer." and "I remember the answer from the director" mean exactly the same thing. Please correct the error.

Because that would be: "Ricordo la risposta dal direttore". Pay attention to "del" and "dal".
Instead of answer, I wonder if peply or response would be acceptable. Grazie.
