2 They may ask the interviewer, “Could I talk about this instead?” to change the scope of questioning and nature of the conversation, but again offer fewer and simpler details which requires the interviewer to ask further follow up questions.
When assessing comprehension, the clarity of the interviewer’s question must be taken into account because of why?
