If a person makes repeated mistakes while learning a new task, what is the most appropriate response?

Correct answer: Understand the cause, practise, and seek guidance

Correct answer: C. Repeated mistakes during new learning do not automatically mean that a person is incapable. A useful learner first identifies the cause: the instruction may be unclear, a step may have been misunderstood, or more practice may be needed. The learner then asks for guidance, practises the difficult step, checks the result, and tries again. This turns an error into feedback for improvement. C is correct because it combines reflection, practice, and support. A is wrong because quitting prevents learning and improvement. B is wrong because hiding an error can allow the problem to continue and may reduce trust. D is wrong because blaming others avoids responsibility and does not build skill. A mistake should still be corrected responsibly, especially when safety or quality is involved. Memory cue: notice the error, find the cause, seek guidance, practise, and improve.
