You can't make a promised appointment with a client — what do you say on the phone? → 'I'm very sorry, but could we possibly reschedule?'

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

Cancelling on a business client calls for keigo: an apology (申し訳ございませんが) and a humble request (変更していただけないでしょうか). The other options are too casual or curt.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
Far too casual for a business client.
Plain register; insufficient for a 取引先.
Abrupt and rude in a business context.
