Explanation:

To determine the element, analyze each option:

• "being tolerant" involves patience with differences, not shown here.
• "making clear statements": Brayden clearly expresses his feelings and request about paying for dates.
• "working toward common goals" requires shared objectives, not evident here.
• "understanding others’ perspectives" means empathizing with others’ views, not what Brayden is doing.
