What type of listening skills can help you understand and retain information?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Active listening.

Active listening is the ability to focus completely on a speaker, understand their message, comprehend the information and respond thoughtfully. Unlike passive listening, which is the act of hearing a speaker without retaining their message, this highly valued interpersonal communication skill ensures you’re able to engage and later recall specific details without needing information repeated.

In the space provided, complete the sentence by placing appropriate indefinite pronouns in each blank.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Everyone, nobody.

Explanation:

Indefinite pronouns are those pronouns used in places of names or a specific person or thing. They do not specify what the pronoun is, nor do they provide any indication of what the pronoun represents. They replace the nouns but do not provide any indication of what nouns they stand for.

In the given sentence, we can use the indefinite pronoun "<em>everyone</em>" and "<em>nobody</em>" as the sentence is in the contrasting side of each other. So, the new sentence will be-

Suzy loves to bake cookies for her family. <em><u>Everyone </u></em>loves them, but <em><u>nobody </u></em>helps her clean up.

This shows that while all the members of the family loves her cookies, only few of them help her clean up. Also, the indefinite pronouns are in the singular form as the corresponding verb is in the present tense.
