You’re assigned a task you don’t know how to do. What’s your best course of action?

Correct — C.
Rule: choose the response that solves the problem.

The problem is a skill gap: you have the task but not the know-how. Asking a senior, a colleague or whoever assigned the task closes that gap.

Then the work gets done, and done right. Seek help or guidance → option (c).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Make excuses — Making excuses leaves the task undone and hides the real problem, that you need to learn how to do it. Nothing gets fixed.
• (b)
  Do it wrongly — Doing it wrongly produces work someone has to redo. Asking for guidance before you start costs far less time.
• (d)
  Delay it — Delaying it does not teach you how to do the task. The same gap remains, now with less time left to close it.

This item sets a workplace problem and four responses. Three of them leave the problem unsolved; one solves it.

Judge each option by what happens to the task next. Excuses and delay leave it undone. A wrong attempt leaves it done badly. Asking for guidance leaves it done correctly.

Key facts

• When you lack the know-how for a task, asking for guidance is the response that gets it done correctly.
• Excuses and delay leave both the task and the skill gap where they were.
• Doing a task wrongly creates rework, so it is worse than asking first.

Common traps

• Reading 'Delay it' as time to learn the task alone. The option says only that the task is put off, not that anything is learned.
