Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Clarification is used when one is not sure what the other person is saying.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Enhancing value differs from criticism. A merit may be a part of an idea, a good intention, an important issue that was addressed, or part of an action. One can ensure understanding and value by asking people about the value of their ideas.
