Answer:
<em>Seeking first to understand, then to be understood</em>
Explanation:
<em>Seek first to understand, then to be understood </em>is the fifth habit Stephen Covey lists in his book <em>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.</em><em> </em>He believes that to be the key to effective interpersonal communication. According to him, most people first want to be understood; to get their point across. That may lead to ignoring the other person completely, selectively listening while just waiting for a chance to reply, without any intent to truly understand. Before giving our opinion, we should listen carefully and try to understand the other person. As, according to Covey, many people don't have this habit, we can often hear someone (especially the youth) say that no one understands how they feel.
The commas must be placed both before and after the nonessential element. For example...
My mom, who hates cooking, ordered takeout.
"who hates cooking" is the nonessential element, and you can see that a comma goes before and after it.
The Southern states produced a large amount of Cotton.
The sentence that should be eliminated to get rid of redundancy would be "The group had quite a past history to reminisce about".
Redundancy refers to a weakness in a speech or a piece of writing that presents unnecessary repetition, information that isn't useful or words with the same explicit or implied meaning.
In the sentence I marked, the word "past" is causing a redundancy. When we're being told that there's "history to reminisce about" <u>it's already implied that it's in the past since we can't reminisce about anything else but the past and all history is past.</u>
Hope this helps!
