Far too frequently we engage in which of the following without becoming involved in the conversation
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Far too frequently we engage in small talk without becoming involved in the conversation, since it only concerns unimportant matters, as stated in option D.

<h3>What is small talk?</h3>

Small talk is the kind of conversation we have when we do not know the other person well. It is often carried out in places such as the bus, the subway, a bank line, etc. Small talk concerns unimportant matters, such as:

  • How crowded the place is.
  • The weather.
  • A sport's match.

We do not really become involved in the conversation when we carry out a small talk. The purpose is usually to pass the time or to simply avoid boredom or awkwardness. Most of the time, it is not our purpose to actually get to know that person well.

With the information above in mind, we can select option D as the correct answer.

The missing answer choices for this question are:

  • Arguments
  • Monologues
  • Dialogic speaking
  • Small talk
