How it's used
Focuses on the strategic or systematic response to a specific situation or challenge rather than a simple emotional reaction. It often implies a level of preparation or a formal plan of action. While it can function as a verb, it is frequently used as a noun to describe a countermeasure or a corresponding policy.
Examples
How do you plan to react to this problem?
He reacted very quickly and thought of a solution immediately.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe basic human reflexes or emotional outbursts, as it sounds too clinical or administrative for those contexts. Use 反應 instead for general reactions.
