If you do not understand a topic from class, the best way to clarify it is to a. ask a friend who has the same class c. wait to see if it is on a test b. look it up in the text book d. ask the teacher

D) Ask the teacher.

Explanation: When we don't understand a topic from a class, the best or more effective way to clarify it is to ask the teacher to please explain the topic again maybe in a different way, or to answer a specific question (if we have one). Ask a friend who has the same class or look it up in the text book can be helpful but they wouldn't be always effective. And we definitely shouldn't wait to see if it is on a test, because we wouldn't be able to answer it.
