Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Speaking slowly and loudly may not necessarily help if the problem is with the language used. Discontinuing the conversation is not the ideal option unless it is absolutely necessary. Keeping a stern face may come across as rude or intimidating. Accepting responsibility for the misunderstanding and using simpler language can help bridge the communication gap and ensure better understanding.
