Explanation:

To be an effective participant, Mrs. Louis should seek more information to understand the report better. Asking for further details about findings and the report helps in a more informed discussion. Asking Mr. Hollembeak to read the report aloud and share his opinion is not the most direct way to gain more details. Moving on to the next topic doesn't help in understanding the current issue. Challenging the validity too soon without full understanding is not productive.

Answer:

ask Mr. Hollembeak for further details about his findings and report
