Option A with paraphrasing? That's just smart auditing. If they can't even get my words right, how can I trust them to understand what I'm saying?

Come on, how is option C with underlining key facts threatening? That's just good note-taking. I bet the auditors do that to look professional, not to scare us.

I disagree, I think C) Underlining key facts could make the auditee feel like they are being scrutinized more closely.

I don't know, I think option D with the tape recorder would be the worst. It's like Big Brother is watching, you know? I'd feel so self-conscious.

Definitely option B - the silence is so uncomfortable, it feels like they're trying to intimidate us! I'd be sweating bullets if an auditor did that to me.
