What is the best indicator of active listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Listening carefully and giving a suitable response
Active listening involves more than receiving sound. The listener pays attention, understands the speaker’s meaning, observes relevant cues, and responds appropriately through a question, summary, acknowledgement, or action. Option A includes attention and meaningful response. Nodding without listening is only a superficial signal, while constant interruption or a memorized answer does not show understanding.
