Xiao Zhao is a publicity officer personally promoted by Director Guo. He has always kept in mind the favor of Director Guo's recognition. However, recently, Director Guo has obviously distanced himself from Xiao Zhao. The reason is that on a rainy day, Xiao Zhao held an umbrella for Director Wang of his department but didn't do the same for Director Guo. In fact, at the time, he didn't see that Director Guo was standing not far away, getting drenched in the rain, and thus a misunderstanding arose. Director Guo said that Xiao Zhao is an ungrateful person and claimed he had misjudged him. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xiao Zhao decided to take immediate action. Please select the inappropriate option below:

A. Immediately visit Director Guo’s home to explain the circumstances of the matter.

B. When someone mentions the strained relationship between Director Guo and himself, strongly deny such a thing.

C. Show utmost respect to Director Guo whether in public or private exchanges.

D. Promptly "assist" when Director Guo is in an urgent situation requiring help.

Answer can be found on the next page.

**Correct Answer: A**

Visiting Director Guo’s home might come across as overly aggressive or intrusive, potentially worsening the situation rather than resolving it. Other options involve subtler, more respectful approaches to rebuilding trust and addressing the misunderstanding.
