Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James explicitly states that he hopes the critique will help make improvements to the publication, meaning he wants constructive feedback. He also states that he is not very sensitive, implying that he can handle criticism, but would prefer it to be given diplomatically. Therefore, the best choice is B, diplomatically. The other options, with friction and offensively, go against the purpose of the evaluation, which is to help improve the publication. The option of after changes have been made by his colleague is also not ideal, as it would not give James the opportunity to improve the initial draft.
