Answer 1

Answer:Prematurely rejecting the topic as lacking value

Explanation:Prematurely rejecting a statement refers to the fact that you didn't listen carefully before you reject the argument , you just reject without having heard the rest of the argument and the point made by the speaker. Mostly this is due to the fact that you don't like the topic so you don't even wait to hear more from the speaker.
