Question

Eddie is listening to Priya’s speech on energy conservation. Priya is making good points, but she is speaking at a slow rate. Instead of getting impatient and letting his mind drift off, Eddie uses the extra processing time to distinguish and evaluate Priya’s points. This is an example of which aspect of active listening?

Answer 1

Answer: Attention

Explanation: What does it mean to pay attention?

Paying Attention means you give a speaker a full , undivided attention , showing that you actual acknowledge what they are saying. This means paying attention to details such as non verbal communication.

Looking at the speaker as they speak , focus your thoughts fully on what they are saying and not let your mind wonder away. Avoid paying attention to the surrounding distractions such as talking to someone else whilst the speaker is still delivering a message.
