ANSWER

ANS: 3
Discussing follow-up dietary needs immediately after surgery when the client is experiencing discomfort is an error in timing and relevance. The client is less likely to be able to pay attention and comprehend instruction when in pain, and immediately after surgery, discussing follow-up dietary needs would seem irrelevant. Pacing has to do with the speed of conversation. This is not an example of an error in pacing. Intonation is the tone of voice used. This is not an example of an error in intonation. Denotative meaning is when a single word can have several meanings. This is not an example of an error in denotative meaning.
