Answer:

The answer is C) Differing frames of reference, for the first part.

B) Be more aware of your frame of reference, is the answer to the second part.

Explanation:

Frame of reference simply means that it is a judgement you make based on your perceptions, understandings and  opinions. Frame of reference is highly subjective and depends on each individual.

In this scenario, from Supervisor's point of view, the drive was a "Short" drive. But for you, the drive was "Super long".

By being aware of how the other person refer to certain matters and having a general idea about his/her frame of reference will solve this problem in the future.
