In which situation is it necessary to change the tone of a message?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When harsh language may hurt the receiver
Tone affects how a message feels and how the receiver is likely to respond. If wording is unnecessarily harsh, changing it to a respectful tone can preserve the essential instruction while reducing hurt or defensiveness. Correct facts and a clear purpose do not by themselves determine an appropriate tone.
