Explanation
A positive response is respectful and supported by reasoning. Explain your viewpoint with a supporting fact (C), ask peers about their reasoning and listen before responding (D), or use a relevant example from your notes to support your disagreement (E). Insulting participants or trying to silence them (A and B) does not encourage constructive discussion.
