If a classmate is trembling while speaking, what is the best behaviour for the listeners?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Show patience and offer encouragement
Trembling can indicate nervousness or lack of confidence. Patient listeners who maintain attention and offer suitable encouragement help the speaker feel safe and complete the message. Mocking or interrupting increases anxiety and may stop communication. Leaving the session is not constructive. Supportive listening improves both the speaker’s confidence and the quality of interaction.
