Answer

Answer:

  • C. calmly explain to Cleo how he feels using "I" statements
  • E. ask Cleo if there is anything wrong and if he can help

Brief Explanations:

Using "I" statements is a healthy communication method to express feelings without blaming. Asking if there's a problem shows concern and openness to resolve the issue. Telling others, getting angry, or using the same tone are not effective for positive communication.
