What proword is used to indicate you want to correct an error during a response?

• A. Wrong
• B. Cancel
• C. Verify
• D. Say again

Answer: (A)

When you realize you’ve transmitted something in error, you need a signal that clearly starts a fix. The best way is to use the proword that announces a correction and then provide the corrected content. This flags the mistake immediately and tells the other operator to replace the erroneous portion with the corrected information, keeping the conversation accurate and concise. Saying “Say again” would only request a repetition of what was heard, not replace your own error. “Verify” asks for confirmation of accuracy but doesn’t initiate the replacement of incorrect data. “Cancel” would drop the message entirely, and “Wrong” isn’t a standard proword used to indicate a correction. So the correct practice is to say the correction and then give the corrected information.
