Which option correctly lists the SHIRT components in order?

• A. S: See; H: Hear; I: Include; R: Respect; T: Thank
• B. S: See; H: Hear; I: Include; R: Respect; T: Think
• C. S: See; H: Help; I: Include; R: Respect; T: Thank
• D. S: See; H: Hear; I: Include; R: Respect; T: Thank

Answer: (A)

The SHIRT components are a mnemonic where S is See, H is Hear, I is Include, R is Respect, T is Thank. The sequence See → Hear → Include → Respect → Thank captures how to engage with someone: observe what’s happening, listen to them, invite their participation, show respect for their viewpoint, and then express appreciation. That exact order is why the correct option lists See, Hear, Include, Respect, Thank. The other choices differ by using a different word for H, replacing Think, or altering one of the terms, which breaks the intended sequence.
