Question

multiple choice question
reggie was going to tell his employee, maddie, that he wants her to apply for a higher - paying position. he tells her that he wants to discuss her performance, and she says, \i know ive been slacking and i am willing to work for less to make up for it.\ maddie has jumped to a conclusion by:
putting words into reggies mouth
trying too hard to remember every single word reggie said
prematurely dismissing reggies suggestion
focusing too much on reggies appearance

Explanation:

Maddie assumes Reggie's performance discussion is about her "slacking" and a pay cut, but Reggie actually wants to encourage her to apply for a higher-paying role. She incorrectly assigns her own assumed intent and words to Reggie's actual message.

Answer:

A. putting words into Reggie's mouth
