Restating a speaker’s message in your own words strengthens which skill?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Active listening
Restating a message in one’s own words is called paraphrasing. It shows that the listener has paid attention, understood the central meaning, and is checking that interpretation with the speaker. The speaker can then confirm or correct the understanding. Silence alone cannot demonstrate accurate comprehension, and the activity is not mainly related to writing speed or drawing. Thus, it strengthens active listening.
