Light from the sun radiates in every direction.
The earth & the moon are bathed in sunlight.
But only on the side facing the sun.
At night, early morning, or late evening,
we can see the reflection from the moon.

Yes, I am having trouble with this question also. It is either very daft or very clever.
The sun gives light to everything in the Solar System. The moon is just one of millions of objects that receive light from the sun.
Your question is the same as "how does the light in my living room give light to granny's photo on the shelf?"

earth is not directly in between the moon and sun...so at night the light form the sun reflects off the moons surface.
\the reason we have moon cycles is because the earth is sometimes a little bit in the way(sliver moon) or not in the way at all(full moon)
