Usually, when people write, they tend to get confused about the correct use of commas in a sentence or a text. This is because people tend to believe that commas are used for pause, much like a period. But the reality is that this is not so. Use it before a linking word like but, of, etc, to connect two independent sentences or clauses. The second case is much like in this example; commas are used to divide dependent clauses. Also, and most importantly for this case, commas are used to divide items that make part of a series. So, the correct answer is C: The former astronaut gave an inspiring, opening address to the crowd of excited, fascinated, students, because words like inspiring, and fascinated are words of a series used to describe and amplify the information regarding a main issue. So, for example, inspiring describes the opening address and then the second clause, which talks about the group of students, both excited and fascinated are working as descriptors of the students. This is why you use commas in these places.

"<span>The former astronaut gave an inspiring opening address to the crowd of excited, fascinated students" is the best choice, although a comma could technically be placed after "inspiring" </span>

What can we do to listen more effectively?
QveST [7]

Answer: I can’t think of a more important point in listening than to be quiet so you can hear what someone is saying. To question, in your own mind, “was that IS or IS NOT”? because of unnecessary interruptions by someone else talking or making too much noise can cause you to lose even more! While you are wondering, you cannot concentrate as well on what you hear if you are thinking about what you may already have missed! These things put you even further behind.

This may sound like a small point, but even someone smacking gum or some other unnecessary noises can interrupt the flow of the speaker, what they say, (or what you thought they said), and can cause you to not hear clearly, and miss an important point. It is far more effective for the listener, and the speaker, if quiet and absolute, focused attention is maintained. It is also simply good manners to not interrupt the others. If you do not want to learn, quietly leave.
