Which term is the back-and-forth phone calls resulting from one message?

• A. E-mail
• B. Volume
• C. Phone Etiquette
• D. Telephone Tag

Answer: (D)

This item tests the term for the back-and-forth phone exchanges that happen when one person tries to reach another and keeps missing each other after messages. The phrase telephone tag captures that chasing pattern—each party calls back or leaves messages, and the connection keeps slipping away, creating a repeated cycle. The other options don’t fit: e-mail refers to electronic messages sent by email, not phone calls; volume concerns how loud the sound is; phone etiquette is about proper manners when using the phone, not the back-and-forth chase.
