Explanation:

Question 1

In hospitality problem - solving, the first step is to understand the guest's issue. Listening carefully to the guest's concerns (option c) is the logical first step. Providing compensation (a) or an alternative service (b) would come after understanding the problem, and escalating (d) is not the first step.

In hospitality and tourism, successful problem - solving focuses on handling issues in an efficient and professional way (option b). Offering the largest compensation (a) is not key, strictly following policies (c) may not be flexible enough, and avoiding compensation (d) is not a good approach.

Miscommunications (a), external factors like weather (b), and equipment failures (c) are common problem sources in hospitality. Poor online reviews (d) are a result of problems, not a source of problems.

Answer:

c. Listening carefully to the guest's concerns
