If Bereket misunderstands a question, his answer may not accurately reflect his experience, potentially impacting the validity of the study. It is important for Harriet to clarify any misunderstandings and ensure that Bereket fully understands the questions being asked. While taking breaks and identifying areas of confusion are also important factors to consider, they would not have as direct of an impact on the study's validity as a misunderstanding by Bereket.
