Which of the following behaviours is an example of active listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Listening attentively and restating the main point in one’s own words
Restating the speaker’s main point in one’s own words demonstrates attention and checks whether the message has been understood. It is a useful active-listening response because the speaker can correct any misunderstanding. Interrupting, checking a phone, or planning a reply without listening shifts attention away from the speaker and does not establish genuine understanding.
