In the following conversation, which group discussion technique does Han most clearly show?

RAMONA:
So you're saying that the evidence collected for Pettit's book came from a fictional source?

HAN:
Yeah. [takes out paper from his pocket and unfolds it] I also found this article written by Francis Eggert that has even more evidence: [reads from paper] "Giovanni Fiorini wrote an exquisite piece of fiction, a novel entitled Medieval Masterpieces. Despite the blurb mentioned in the foreword, to this day people depict this book as steeped in historical accuracy, when in fact it is well-played-out imagination written by a master storyteller."

A.
Conducting extra research

B.
Asking clarifying questions

C.
Determining new research goals

D.
Evaluating an author's point of view
