Question

when choosing between continuing an argument and walking away, which situation supports walking away as the better option?
a trusted friend is mediating.
there is pressure to act quickly.
the argument is likely to be resolved.
both individuals are speaking respectfully

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A trusted friend mediating suggests continuing the argument to resolve it, so walking away is not better here.
• Option B: Pressure to act quickly can lead to hasty, unproductive responses. In such a situation, walking away to avoid making the argument worse or acting impulsively is a better option.
• Option C: If the argument is likely to be resolved, continuing is better, not walking away.
• Option D: Respectful communication means the argument can be addressed, so walking away is not needed.

Answer:

B. There is pressure to act quickly.
