Which of the following is the BEST response to a telephone call from your dad's coworker who just asked if you are home alone?

The safest response avoids telling the caller whether you are alone or sharing information about who is home. Saying you will contact your father lets a trusted adult handle the call and know that the coworker asked an inappropriate question. Choice B, “I don't feel that's an appropriate question, but I will contact my father and make sure he knows that you called,” is therefore best. Choices A, C, and D all reveal whether you are alone or who is present.
