Answer 2

1 You don't seem to get it, let me show you how it works....

Step-by-step explanation:

When illustrating a point of view or trying to explain something to someone it is important to be respectful and considerate with the other party. So, numeral 1 "You don't seem to get it, let me show you how it works...." is both disrespectful and ruthless. By telling the person “You don't seem to get it” indirectly you are telling the person that she or he is not intelligent enough to understand what it is being explained. The idea is not to underestimate the other party or criticize it, the objective is to exemplify and offer tools to the other party in order to explain and make clear the message you are trying to illustrate.
