C. consciously redirect your attention to the instructor.
D. look at the notes of the student sitting next to you.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: D. Look at the notes of the student sitting next to you.

Explanation:

Deep academic listening occurs when you mindfully engage in active listening while attending a lecture.

Multiple techniques involve this type of listening such as taking deep breaths and being metacognitively aware of the teacher or instructor's words.

Looking at the notes of the student sitting next to you is not a component of deep or academic listening because it may lead you to stop paying attention to what the instructor is saying.

In conclusion, in order to refocus, a person can do all of the options listed above except: Looking at the notes of the student sitting next to you.
