<!-- SPEAKING --> <!-- (audio) Jim: However, I've noticed that the app tends to lag a bit when switching between different sections. Could we work on that? -->

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and answer the question below.

--questions--

--text--

Maria wants to show that she empathizes with Jim's concern. What should she say?

--answers--

I understand your point.

--audio-id--

That's not a big deal.

--audio-id--

EN9b3839e0

--feedback--

This response dismisses Jim's concern. A better response would acknowledge the issue and express understanding, rather than minimizing it.

--video-solution--

1

--explanation--

When someone raises a concern, especially about something technical, the most appropriate response is to show that you understand and are ready to address it.

Dismissing the issue with That's not a big deal is unhelpful and unprofessional.
