Read the scenario about a formal discussion. The cross-country team is having a meeting to plan their summer workout program. Rhys presents an idea of meeting at the school three days a week and at the forest preserve three days a week to add more variety to their running courses. What is the most likely reason why one of the other participants would ask a follow-up question?
Answer
A
to highlight the speaker’s main points
B
to paraphrase details to show understanding
C
to make connections with prior knowledge
D
to clarify something confusing or unclear
Explanation
A follow-up question is most likely asked when a listener needs more information or wants to clear up something that is confusing or unclear. Rhys has explained the proposed workout locations, so another participant might ask a question to clarify how the plan would work. The best choice is “to clarify something confusing or unclear.”
