Which behaviour indicates that a listener is not interested in listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Looking at the watch repeatedly
Repeatedly looking at a watch commonly signals impatience, distraction, or a desire to end the interaction. It may make the speaker feel that the listener is not engaged. Looking at the speaker, noting key points, and nodding appropriately are generally signs of attention, although no single gesture proves a person’s complete mental state. Thus, D is the best answer.
