A 'slip of the tongue' means something said

  • A.Wrongly by choice
  • B.Unintentionally
  • C.Without giving proper thought
  • D.To hurt another person

Answer: C

Correct answer: Unintentionally

A slip of the tongue is a mistake in speaking that the speaker did not mean to make; the whole point of the passage is that such accidents can create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Saying something wrongly by choice or to hurt another person would be deliberate, which a slip by definition is not.
