--video-solution--

2

--explanation--

You could say Understood. to mean that you acknowledge another person's point without adding further argument or discussion. It is a brief way to show you have heard and processed what the other person said. For example:

• Manager: We need everyone to submit their reports by Friday. - This means the manager is expressing it is necessary that the reports are delivered by the end of the week.

• Employee: Understood. - This means the employee acknowledges the instruction.
