If a speaker interrupts an audience question and gives a wrong answer, which behaviour should improve?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Listen to the complete question and confirm its meaning.
Interrupting can cause the speaker to miss the question’s qualifications, context, or actual request. Active listening requires allowing the person to finish, then checking the meaning or asking for clarification before answering. Speaking faster, stopping the questioner, or changing the subject would reduce understanding further. Therefore, A is the appropriate improvement.
