Which is the most appropriate example of passive listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hearing the speaker's voice but not paying attention to the message
Passive listening means hearing sounds without giving careful attention to the meaning or responding thoughtfully. Thus, merely hearing a speaker's voice while ignoring the message is passive listening. Asking questions, taking notes, and paraphrasing show attention and processing, so they are active-listening behaviours rather than passive listening.
