You are completing a research project at university
involving interviews with members of the public.
During the project, you realize that one of the
participants may not have fully understood the consent
form before agreeing to take part. You have already
collected the interview data, but you are now uncertain
whether you are permitted to use it in your final report.
You arrange a meeting with your research supervisor
to discuss what you should do.

🧠 Final Challenge Strategy
In this level, don't rely on individual words.
Listen for the function of the speaker's
question.
Is the speaker:
• asking for clarification?
• expressing concern?
• requesting an action?
• suggesting a solution?
• checking your understanding?
• asking you to make a decision?
The strongest answer is the one that responds to the
purpose of the question, not merely
the words contained in it.
⚠️ Be especially careful with answers that are
grammatically correct but conversationally inappropriate.
