Read the scenario.

Curtis is participating in a group discussion about an author’s use of metaphor. He listens to a group member explain their perspective on the metaphor. Then, another group member offers a different view on the meaning and use of the metaphor.

What is the best way for Curtis to respond?

by asking questions until all members agree on one view
by paraphrasing the views to make them sound the same
by synthesizing the views to show how both perspectives are seen in the text
by probing the members until they cannot explain their views in further detail

This respects both contributions, draws on evidence, and helps the group reach a deeper, shared understanding of the metaphor.
