What it explains
Correcting a list: じゃありません, then が
A correction is two moves. First rule out — むぎは たんとうじゃありません. Then supply the right answer with が, because you are picking one person out of several: さとうさんが よさんの たんとうです. Doing it in that order is what makes a correction sound like help rather than a contradiction.
わかりました closes a task
Past tense of わかります, and the standard way to confirm you have understood an instruction. わかります on its own can read as I understand in general; わかりました means I have got this specific thing, which is what a colleague is waiting to hear.
The scene itself is in the app.
