Explanation:

To be an effective participant, Mrs. Louis should seek more information to better understand the situation. 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 efficient way as she can read it herself. Moving on to the next topic without fully exploring the current one is not helpful, and challenging the validity too soon without more information is premature.

Answer:

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