“The Elephant Man:” What is most likely the author’s intent in having Ross repeat the phrase “Tuppence only, step in and see” in

the passage below?
“ROSS: Tuppence only, step in and see: This side of the grave, John Merrick has no hope nor expectation of relief. In every sense his situation is desperate. His physical agony is exceeded only by his mental anguish, a despised creature without consolation. Tuppence only, step in and see! To live with his physical hideousness, incapacitating deformities and unremitting pain is trial enough, but to be exposed to the cruelly lacerating expressions of horror and disgust by all who behold him—is even more difficult to bear. Tuppence only, step in and see!”
Question 17 options:

a)

To add humor to an otherwise serious subject

b)

To build mystery and anticipation for Merrick’s introduction

c)

To introduce the character of Treves

Answer:

A. critical

Explanation:

Q:

What type of listening involves listening for facts and details to understand the speaker's message?

A:

critical

it critical that is what i think it is

yes critical thinking is da answer

Reflective listening occurs when you ask questions and use the speaker’s responses to form new questions.

Situations that require reflective listening include

class or group discussions; and

interviews.

The difference between critical and reflective listening is subtle.

Critical listening involves making evaluations about material you hear. Reflective listening does not require you to make such evaluations. Instead, you are participating in a discussion by asking questions in response to what someone has said.

Appreciative listening occurs when you identify and analyze artistic elements, such as character development in a movie, rhyme in a spoken poem, and descriptive language in a story.

Situations that require appreciative listening include

oral presentations of a poem;

dramatic performances; and

concerts.

Empathetic listening occurs when you imagine yourself in the other person’s position and try to understand what he or she is thinking or feeling. The speaker feels valued and respected since the listener responds with feeling or compassion.

Situations that require empathetic listening include

personal conversations with friends or family; and

one-on-one conversations with a co-worker or teacher.

Critical listening is listening for facts and supporting details so you can make evaluations and judgments about what you hear.

Critical listening is also active. The more you involve yourself in the listening process, the more you will understand the words being spoken.

Situations that require critical listening include

informative or persuasive speeches;

class discussions; and

announcements.

Types of Listening

Different situations call for different types of listening.

For example, you use different listening skills when you have a conversation with a friend than when you listen to a teacher.

While there are two ways to listen, there are four main types of listening: critical, empathetic, appreciative, and reflective.

When taking notes, pay attention to the kinds of situations that go with these four types of listening.
