Niranjana sat at the kitchen table with her mother$-$in$-$law, Paramita. The two women were engrossed in the movie guide spread in front of them. "Bollywood Retrospective!" read the headline. Niranjana wants to see Panga, but Paramita wants to see Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Seeing Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge seems to be really important to Paramita, and Niranjana wants to continue her amicable relationship with her husband's mother.

The conflict$-$handling technique is most appropriate in this situation.

Which of the following statements is high in directness and low in intensity?

I$\text{'}$d really like to see Dilwale Dulhania Le$\text{'}$ Jayenge, why don't you tell me what you find appealing about watching it$?$

I$\text{'}$d really like to see a different movie, but since you're insisting on having your own way, I guess we can watch your movie.
