Practice Question
Which TWO of the following scenarios demonstrate proper active listening?
Answer Choices
- A: Lana claps enthusiastically as a speaker concludes.
- B: Martin raises his hand to ask a speaker a relevant question.
- C: Juan busily takes notes on the content of a speech.
- D: Luke looks around the room while a speaker begins.
- E: Alison smiles at a speaker and nods her head when she agrees.
Correct Answer: B, C
Rationale: Active listening requires full attention to the speaker. Martin's relevant question (B) shows engagement and understanding. Juan's note-taking (C) indicates focus on content. Clapping (A) occurs post-speech, not during listening. Looking around (D) shows distraction. Smiling and nodding (E) is passive, not confirming comprehension.
