Paul explains a mishap in the factory to his supervisor Shi Xian. John tells him exactly where the miscommunication occurred and who was at fault. Now, Paul is trying to understand why his boss seems more cold and distant and why less desirable assignments are coming his way. In this scenario, John may need to learn . A. to use a less indirect style of communication B. that honesty is not always the best policy in intercultural contexts C. how to slow down and sneak up on information D. to be more formal in his interactions

A

Explanation:

This might be wrong, as all of them could be correct, although I think A is the most reasonable to infer. The text uses "exactly" to describe his directness. A lot of people don't like this directness, and as a result, could become more cold or distant. Another thing contributing to my answer is that no other information about his interaction is given, making the other answers unreasonable. Again, think through this yourself, because I may not be right.
