Answer:
Empathic listening.
Explanation:
Emphatic listening is when someone lends a helping ear to the other person who is "unloading" his/ her problems. It involves<u> active listening and even offering helping or suggestive responses to the said conversation</u>. This is not an example of a block to effective listening.
A block to effective listening is when some forms of actions act as a barrier to an effective listening process. Such processes may include "stage-hogging" which is when the "supposed" listener is only interested in unloading his opinions or problems but not interested in listening to the opinions or problems of others.
Likewise, the act of interrupting when one is speaking and derailing, which is taking the course of the conversation into a whole different direction or topic are all forms of obstructions to effective listening.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is empathic listening. </u>
The first one is the correct answer.
