Answer 1

The best way for Fiona to communicate with Raymond about the images not fitting the topic is to offer her assistance. This approach is supportive and constructive without being confrontational or demeaning. The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given scenario, the most effective communication Fiona could use is C. I can help you with the images in your presentation. This option is constructive, offers assistance, and maintains a positive and supportive work environment. It encourages collaboration without being confrontational or demeaning.

Option A could also be useful to understand Raymond's thought process, but it lacks the offer of assistance that makes option C more effective. Option B is a blunt statement that could put Raymond on the defensive. Option D is threatening and could create tension, while option E is dismissive and could undermine Raymond's confidence.
