During an interview, Jelena tells Nolan, the interviewer, that she would prefer working the night shift. Nolan then asks Jelena, "So are you saying that you’d rather work from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. than from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.?" Why did Nolan ask such a question to Jelena?

a. For verification
b. For clarification
c. For obtaining additional information
d. For paraphrasing message emotions
speech-communication

Explanation: When an information is received or heard, one might consider taking one or more steps in establishing the accuracy or validity of such information and also make sure there is no ambiguity in the information received either due to the communicator's involuntary error or the receiver's failure to grasp the sender's idea.

In the context above, working the night shift is between 9pm to 6am. Jelena requested working the night shift. However, to be more explicitly, clear ambiguity and verify Jelena's demand, Nolan stated the time frame associated with Jelena's request.
