A listener said, “I understand your point,” and then restated the other person’s message in their own words to confirm understanding. Which active-listening technique is this?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means expressing a speaker’s message again in the listener’s own words while keeping the original meaning. It gives the speaker an opportunity to confirm or correct the understanding. Selective listening ignores some parts, passive listening gives little active response, and interrupting prevents the speaker from completing the message.
