Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Pose.

The right REPAIR tactic would be POSE. In the selection, it says that "Eddie suggests that they go to the art show for an hour or so and then go listen to the band because they'll be playing for several hours. " We've highlighted the word "suggests" because pose implies suggesting reasonable solutions. Pose possible solutions taking both sides’ needs into consideration. One-sided, self-serving solutions are dropped. The tone is conciliatory, not antagonistic.
