In a conversation, the listener says, “I understand from what you said that the problem is related to time management.” Which communication technique does this illustrate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means restating the speaker’s message in the listener’s own words to check understanding. The listener here summarises the perceived issue as time management and gives the speaker a chance to confirm or correct it. This is not an order, criticism, or topic change because no command or attack is made.
