Giving everyone a chance to speak in a discussion shows which behaviour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Respectful listening
The governing soft-skill concept is respectful listening, which means paying attention to others, allowing them to express their views and responding without unfairly interrupting or dismissing them. Giving every participant a chance to speak supports inclusion, equal participation and constructive communication. Dominance involves controlling the discussion or taking excessive speaking time; ignoring means failing to notice or consider another person; impatience is shown by rushing or interrupting. Since the behaviour described actively makes room for other voices, option D is correct. It reflects both listening skills and respect for the contribution of each participant.
