If a student uses humor on a serious topic and the audience becomes uncomfortable, which skill is weak?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sensitivity and context understanding
Effective communication requires adapting words, examples, and tone to the subject and the audience. Humour that may be harmless in a casual setting can seem disrespectful or insensitive during a serious discussion. The audience’s discomfort signals that the speaker failed to read the context and emotional expectations. Speaking speed, a letter address, or a question number is unrelated, so A is correct.
