During social studies, the students discuss the collapse of the Roman Empire. The teacher tells the students that everyone must respond to at least one comment that a speaker in their group makes. What should Saj do to help him prepare for his turn to respond? Listen carefully and take notes about what others are saying. Continue reading as others speak to search for new ideas. Find someone with whom he agrees and repeat his or her idea. Change the subject to something he can more easily discuss.

Answer:

What Saj should do to help him prepare for his turn to respond is:

A. Listen carefully and take notes about what others are saying.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose here is to find a way for Saj to prepare for his turn, not for him to avoid it or pretend. If he must respond to at least one comment, Saj should pay attention to what everybody says and take notes. That will give him enough information to ponder and build a response around. That way, he can comfortably choose which person he wishes to respond to after having mentally prepared.

If he continues reading instead of listening, he will most likely offer an unsuitable and generic response, not closely connected to what the other student has said. If he simply finds someone who shares his same idea, there will be no challenge or growth, which renders the whole activity purposeless. If he changes the subject, again the activity will have lost its sense; nothing will be learned from it.
