Authority Tone Awareness
What is an authority tone in everyday conversation?
The situation
A person in charge gives an instruction, and you notice how their tone affects the exchange.
Recommended Response
A. A tone that sounds like ordering, controlling, or talking down to someone.
Context matters. This is a recommendation for the situation described, not a rule for every interaction.
Why is A the recommended response?
Understanding this situation
Authority tone is not the same as clarity. It often sounds like the speaker is above the other person instead of working with them.
