Answer:
The answer is perception checking.
Explanation:
Perception checking occurs when a person asks for clarification about an ambiguous piece of communication. For example, a co-worker might have rolled his eyes when you asked him about a meeting. Your interpretation could be: a) he was annoyed at your question, or b) he was thinking about it. Perception checking would occur if you asked him what he meant. "Hey, I saw your roll your eyes when I asked you about the meeting. Did I make you upset?".
