What should a speaker do if a listener repeatedly asks off-topic questions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Politely bring the discussion back to the main topic
The speaker should acknowledge the question respectfully, briefly explain that it is outside the current focus, and suggest discussing it later if appropriate. This keeps the presentation organised without dismissing the listener rudely. Insulting the person, abandoning the presentation, or giving a deliberately wrong answer damages trust and does not solve the communication problem.
