PASSAGE
Two coworkers, Hana and Jerome, are collaborating on a presentation. Hana tells Jerome, "I'll handle the visuals." Jerome later discovers that Hana created slides but did not produce the data charts he assumed she would make. Jerome approaches Hana and says, "I thought you were doing the charts too." Hana replies, "I said visuals — I meant the slide design, not data visualization."
This exchange illustrates a breakdown caused by lexical ambiguity in the word 'visuals.' If Jerome wants to negotiate a fair division of the remaining work without making Hana feel blamed, which conversational move is most appropriate as his NEXT utterance?
