When a person listens only to win an argument and not to understand what is lacking?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Active and fair listening
Effective listening aims first at understanding the speaker’s meaning, reasons, and feelings. Listening only to prepare a counterargument introduces bias and prevents fair consideration of the message. Fast speaking, visual aids, and written records may support communication in some settings, but they do not address this listening failure.
