Which of the following statements is considered a neutral argument?
a. "you need to be a professional about this."
b. "i feel we can improve our communication."
c. "i hope you can work on this issue."
d. "it would be best if you try a little harder."

B). "I feel we can improve our communication."

Explanation:

The neutral argument is elaborated as the logical argument or an argument that lessens the scope for the creation of a conflict or disagreement.

As per the question, the statement that could be considered as a neutral argument is displayed through option B as it neither imposes an opinion nor does it favor one-sided opinion but merely states his/her point that would help avoid the formation of a conflict and build a healthy argument. The other options are suggesting one-sided judgments instead of displaying their opinions which is reflected by the words like 'hope, need, and ...best'. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

"I feel we can improve our communication."

Further Explanation:

Neutrality is the tendency not to take any side in a conflict. This should not be looked into as that neutral parties do not have a side or are not the side to themselves but instead it means being unbiased. Biasness is doing favoritism to someone or some side. In today’s scenario, neutrality is often seen as making a judgment or facilitates dialogue of any bias and also putting emphasis on the process more than the outcome.  

It implies not judging the validity of a view. A neutral person is viewed as providing a platform for all the options which include irrational and malicious ones. A neutral person will never favor one side but he will have his viewpoint on both sides.
