Tony wants to communicate with Cleo effectively. What should his response be? Check all that apply.

Tony can communicate effectively by calmly using “I” statements to explain how Cleo’s behavior makes him feel. He can also ask whether something is wrong and offer to help, which encourages an open conversation. Telling classmates, getting angry, or copying Cleo’s patronizing tone is likely to escalate the conflict rather than resolve it.
