No, not at all. What I mean is you should try to do your exercise, and then someone here will help you with your answers.

Default Thanks Bhai.

I think next to question you said "no", there was supposed to be "see both sides of the situation" instead. .... Thank you for giving me a helping hand. I´d like to ask just one more question:
"see both sides of the question/situation" means:

A: answer questions from the audience (agree with them)
B: one way of looking at a situation
C: talk about the most important matter
D: already being considered, prepared, planned, developed
E: understand why others have another opinion

I was taking into account option "A" as correct... but my friend thinks it´s "E"... may I know your opinion? Have a nice day
