If you don't understand a question, it is best to ask for clarification.

That way, your teacher can explain the question, so that you don't accidentally get it wrong.

Robbins · Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Ask for clarification

Explanation:

In language, a question is an interrogative statement asked to get information, this means when you are asked a question, the other person expects you to ask immediately, because of this, not understanding a question or having doubts about it can lead to important misunderstandings or communicational issues.

Due to this, it is recommended in all situations including formal ones (interviews, debates, etc.) or informal ones (conversations with friends, family, etc) to ask for clarification if you do not understand a question which can be achieved by asking the person to repeat the question or by restating the question to check if you understood the question. Thus, if you do not understand a question always ask for clarification.
