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.
Explanation:
Based on the excerpt, the paragraph expands the central idea about malaria being a deadly disease in the way that Elizabethans were not aware at all of how malaria was spread among people at that time, so because of their lack of knowledge about the illness, they could not find proper treatment to cure it. Thus, the best option that supports the idea is the third sentence <em>"It explains Elizabethan misconceptions about the spread of malaria."</em> Additional support for the idea is that there is no comparison between one disease and another; it is briefly mentioned Romney Marsh with no description; and malaria is not only associated with swampy areas but with tropical areas, too.
