Question

When listening to a presentation on the harmful effects of radiation, which choice will most help you understand the speaker’s message?
Use your empathic listening skills.

Use nonverbal communication to indicate that you are listening intently.

Stare at the speaker, keeping constant eye contact.

Take notes to summarize the speaker’s ideas.

Answer 1

I think it would be "take notes to summarize the speaker’s ideas" but I very well could be wrong. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is the last option. Taking notes to summarize the main points in the talks will ensure that you both understand what is being said at that moment, as well as to contribute to the understanding of the whole message. A summary will most probably ensure that you understood everything and took full advantage of the contents of the talk. The option of using your emphatic listening skills is also possible, though summarizing would be much more effective in evaluating your understanding
