Why is listening connected with fair decisions in broader democracy?

Correct answer: Because listening helps understand the interests of affected people

Correct answer: C. A decision is more likely to be fair when the people affected by it can explain their needs, difficulties, and concerns. The reasoning is simple: first listen to relevant views, then compare the facts and interests, and finally make a considered decision. Listening does not guarantee that every demand will be accepted, but it prevents important viewpoints from being ignored and makes participation meaningful. A is wrong because listening makes the process more open, not hidden. B is wrong because careful consultation can prevent mistakes. D is wrong because equal opportunity to speak can reduce unfair exclusion. Memory cue: “Listen before deciding.”
