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.

Answer:
D. Marlow, back in the city, finds the daily lives and concerns of his fellow citizens to be petty.
Explanation:
Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" centers around the character of Marlow who had gone to the African continent to meet Kurtz. This whole plot revolves around the occurrences of the journey.
The above passage is from the third part of the book where Marlow had returned back to Europe. He had no clear memory of how he got back but he is also not appreciative of the European people and their worries. He exclaims that this city looks like a tombstone, filled with "<em>people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams</em>". To him, their daily lives and concerns are so petty as compared to the things he had experienced and seen with his very own eyes.
