The correct answer is C. Challenging assumptions

Explanation:

A discussion technique refers to different methods that guarantee the discussion is effective or guarantees the exchange of ideas between the participants flows. Common discussion techniques include asking questions, guiding the discussion, stating opposing ideas, challenging assumptions, among others. In the case of challenging assumptions, this discussion technique focuses on re-examining carefully through questions the assumptions or ideas already stated in order to consider them from a different perspective and determine if they are valid or have been just wrongly assumed.

Consider Jennifer is mainly asking questions about the ideas of Daniel in order to make him reconsider ideas from a different perspective it can be concluded she is mainly using challenging assumptions technique in order to challenge the ideas previously assumed about the title of the work. Therefore, in this conversation, the discussion technique Jennifer most clearly shows is challenging assumptions.

answer: a

explanation:

read the following excerpt from “greece” by oscar wilde.

the sea was sapphire [colored], and the sky

burned like a heated opal through the air;

we hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair

for the blue lands that to the eastward lie.

which words does the poet include to the reader visualize the scene?

“the sea was sapphire”

“through the air”

“was blowing fair”

“to the eastward lie”

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !
