Answer 1

This reduces the chances of a miscommunication.

Answer 2

The answer is D: this can reduce the chances of a miscommunication.

If a person can listen to a statement and reformulate it using his or her own words, then it means that the message was understood by the listener since he or she was able to relay the sense and meaning of the original utterance. If this is the case, then the first speaker can contrast his or her original utterance with the listener´s second utterance, providing both with the tools to corroborate comprehension and understanding, avoiding thus miscommunication.
