If a friend misunderstands your message, what is the most appropriate step to take?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Calmly explain the message again in simple words
A misunderstanding is best handled through calm, clear, and respectful communication. The sender can restate the message in simpler words, give an example, and listen to the friend’s interpretation. Anger may make the person defensive, ending the conversation leaves the issue unresolved, and spreading a rumour harms trust rather than solving the misunderstanding.
