If a person keeps preparing their response while listening to someone, what weakness may occur in active listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reduced deep understanding of the message
Preparing a reply while the other person is still speaking divides attention. The listener may miss important words, emotions, pauses, or non-verbal cues and may respond to an assumed point rather than the complete message. Therefore, deep understanding becomes weaker. The other options describe benefits that normally require attentive listening, not divided attention.
