Question

Formulating more than one possible _______ of your friend's behavior will help you keep an open mind.

Answer 1

Answer:

formulating more than one possible interpretation of your friends behavior will limit your ability to keep on open mind.

Answer 2

Answer:

A- Interpretation

Explanation:

Assumption means assuming, and to assume your friends' behavior would not help you keep an open mind. If you have a certain perception of your friend, you only see one side to them, and that won't help either. Clarification just doesn't make sense in this sentence and it wouldn't work.

Here is a definition to help you understand:

Interpretation is an explicit argument about a text’s deeper meanings—its implied themes, values, and assumptions. It pays special attention to the text’s contradictions, tensions, and ambiguities. Interpretation also recognizes how the cultural context of the text and the reader might influence our interpretive conclusions.

It is not the same as an assumption because it also implies themes and values.

I hope that this is right and that it helped :)
