Which option shows a high level of active listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Listen, summarise, and then ask a related question
Active listening involves attention to the speaker’s meaning, not merely waiting for one’s own turn. Summarising checks understanding, and a relevant follow-up question shows engagement with the content. Interrupting, mentally preparing an unrelated answer, or changing the topic prevents the listener from fully processing the message.
