Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dialogic refers to a conversation or discussion between two or more people, where they listen to each other's point of view and try to understand each other's feelings. This is exactly what Penelope and Matthew did during their conversation, resulting in a compromise solution. Empathic comprehension also involves understanding someone's feelings, but it does not necessarily involve a conversation or discussion. Nonverbal and analytic comprehension do not relate to the situation described.
