In this situation, it is important for Rita to take responsibility for her mistake and apologize for any inconvenience caused to the client and her boss. Agreeing with her boss that she did complete the wrong report shows that she is willing to learn and improve from the feedback given to her. Continuing to argue or being confrontational will only exacerbate the situation and damage her professional reputation. Saying nothing is also not an effective response as it does not address the issue or show accountability.
