As a response to his son’s request to be driven to his friend’s place, william replies, "i know you want to go to your friend’s house today. i assume you need to relax before your exam, but i do not feel comfortable because you might be disturbing your friend on the day before the exam. may be we could all hang out together after your exam is over." in this case, william’s assertive message is lacking

effect or consequence

Explanation:There are three part that makes up an assertive message it's the behaviour,feeling and the effect.

Teh behaviour is explained that William want to go and visit over his friend probably because he wants to relax and his father states his own feelings towards this.

The father thought doesn't state what will be the effect for William if he goes over to his friend which is will be probably more influential in changing his mind about going over to his friend .

The lack of the consequences on the message may make the receiver not see why his behaviour need to change or why he may need to rethink it.
