When someone "construes" an action, what are they doing?

Misunderstanding a situation
Interpreting it in a specific way
Ignoring its significance
Explaining it in vague terms

The correct answer is: Interpreting it in a specific way

When someone "construes" an action, they are interpreting it in a specific way. The term "construe" implies a careful analysis of the action or statement, leading to a particular understanding or conclusion about its meaning. This process involves considering the context and details surrounding the action to formulate a precise interpretation. Choosing this option reflects the essence of the term, which is rooted in the idea of deliberate analysis and understanding. The other options imply a lack of clarity or engagement with the action, which does not align with the definition of construing as a methodical interpretation.
