The problem is that Marcie had only planned closed-ended questions, which only require a "yes" or "no" answer, and had not followed up by asking open-ended questions that would elicit more detailed responses from the supervisor. Therefore, the best choice is B. The other choices do not accurately reflect the problem in this situation.
