Question

Which of the following best illustrates active listening?

Answer 1

Active listening is a technique that requires the listener to be fully concentrated, to understand all the ideas and to be able to remember and respond to them. Therefore, we may say that the sentence that best illustrates active listening is:

D. Paying attention to people when they are speaking.

The rest of the sentences (A,B and C) would trigger a negative effect among speakers, rather than a mindful, effective communication.  

Answer 2

Paying attention to people while they are speaking.
