Which option asks for more detail to improve understanding?

• A. What happened exactly just so I know?
• B. Can you say more about that so I understand?
• C. This is upsetting to me. How soon can we meet to discuss this in person?
• D. If anything else happens in the meantime, can you come to me so I can help you?

Answer: (B)

To improve understanding, the best move is to invite elaboration in a way that signals you want to grasp the idea more clearly. The line that does this asks, Can you say more about that so I understand? It directly requests additional explanation and explicitly ties it to your own comprehension. That open-ended ask invites the other person to expand, give examples, or clarify steps, making it easier to bridge gaps in understanding and move the conversation forward collaboratively.

The other lines miss that emphasis on seeking deeper explanation. One focuses on exact events to know, which centers on factual detail rather than expanding understanding. Another shifts to meeting in person, which doesn’t address clarifying or deepening the current discussion. The last suggests a future action if something else happens, again not targeting immediate comprehension.

So, the best choice is the one that clearly requests more detail with the goal of understanding.
