Which behaviour best represents active listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Listening attentively to the speaker and summarising the message
Active listening requires focused attention, understanding, and an appropriate response that shows the message has been received. Listening to the complete statement and summarising it checks understanding and allows the speaker to correct any misunderstanding. Repeated interruption breaks the speaker’s flow, and looking at a phone or replying without attention only gives the appearance of listening.
