Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grice's cooperative principle emphasizes honesty in communication. The best way to adhere to this principle while being interviewed is by providing truthful responses. Exaggerated responses (A) would violate the cooperative principle by conveying false information. Long-winded responses (C) may also be seen as uncooperative, as they waste the interviewer's time. Providing specific language (D) and defining jargon (E) can promote clarity and understanding, but they do not necessarily ensure honesty.
