A CAEL listening passage presents information in chronological order. When writing your integrated response, which organizational approach is most logical?

A CAEL listening task features an academic discussion between a professor and a graduate student. Which source should your written response primarily draw from?

Both participants contribute to the academic discussion, and your integrated response should reflect the full content of the exchange.
Which sentence best demonstrates appropriate use of reporting language in a CAEL integrated response?
