This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Professor Wilson tells his students that only the most important concepts from the chapter will be on the next test. Student A and student B have different ideas about just which concepts are the most important. This is an example of ______________.
negotiation
vagueness
motivation
contextualization
Answer:
This is an example of vagueness.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vagueness happens in communication when the receiver of the message cannot fully understand what the message means or to what it refers. That means that the way the message was structured or the language used were imprecise or unclear. Vagueness usually happens unintentionally, but it can hinder communication greatly. Since students A and B in the passage have different ideas about which concepts are the most important, they will focus on different parts of the whole. That can mean one of them will do better than the other, in case his/her ideas coincide with the professor's.
