Question 9 • GA-Literature and Composition I

Which is the best example of a group member building on the ideas of another?

Answer
A
“I see your point, but don’t you think that takes us off the topic of our presentation?”
B
“What do you think about including a quote from the principal in our presentation?”
C
“I think I understand what you mean, but I am not sure I fully agree with you.”
D
“You are right, we should use that as evidence and add a graph to support it.”

Explanation

Building on someone else’s idea means accepting or extending it with an additional contribution. In D, the speaker agrees to use the evidence and adds that the group should include a graph to support it. The other choices redirect the discussion, introduce a new suggestion, or express disagreement without adding to the original idea.
