Question

Ms. Chan’s class is having a discussion about the value of school uniforms. As Michael shares some facts, Emery turns away to check the clock. Caleb glances down at his cell phone, and Jonah raises his hand to ask Michael a question.
Which student demonstrates active listening skills?

Michael
Emery
Caleb
Jonah

Answer 1

Jonah demonstrates active listening skills

Answer 2

The correct answer is that Jonah is the student that demonstrates active listening skills.

Jonah is not only paying attention to Ms. Chan, he is also paying attention to the people that are participating in the class, like Michael, who is sharing facts. He is not just passively hearing the message of the main speaker, Jonah is listening actively, using all his senses in the task at hand.
