Which of the following statements is true about a counterproposal?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A counterproposal is a proposal made in response to an initial proposal that presents an alternative solution that is more desirable to the parties involved. By presenting a counterproposal, the writer can soften the blow of the bad news while preserving the relationship between the parties. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because a counterproposal may or may not increase the need to state the refusal directly, it may or may not precede the refusal, and it is not necessarily a transition from the bad news to reasoning.
