What are the four parts of oral questioning?

• A. L.O.F.E.
• B. F.A.D.S.
• C. C.L.U.
• D. L.L.L.D.R.T.G.

Answer: (B)

Oral questioning is structured to ensure your answer is complete and well-reasoned by following four parts: Facts, Assumptions, Details, and Summary. This framework is commonly remembered as F.A.D.S.

Start with Facts: state verifiable information relevant to the question, sticking to what you can support with evidence. Next, address Assumptions: identify any ideas the question or scenario implies but does not state, and assess whether they’re valid or need justification. Then provide Details: offer specific information, explanations, data, or examples that deepen your answer and show your understanding. Finish with a Summary: briefly restate the main points and how the facts, assumptions, and details come together to support your conclusion.

This approach helps ensure you’re not guessing, you’re clarifying what’s known, you add meaningful specifics, and you end with a clear takeaway. The other acronyms don’t align with this standard four-part structure, so they don’t provide the same reliable framework for organizing an oral response.
