Final answer:

A critical listener must ask questions to understand material better and distinguish between fact and opinion, while an appreciative listener may simply seek enjoyment without such analysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

A critical listener must engage with the content at a deeper level than an appreciative listener. Specifically, a critical listener must:

  • Ask questions about what they're hearing to understand the material better.
  • Distinguish between fact and opinion to evaluate the credibility and logic of what is being said.

An appreciative listener, on the other hand, primarily seeks enjoyment and is not necessarily concerned with analyzing the content critically.

Therefore, regarding the original question, the applicable options a critical listener must do, but an appreciative listener doesn't have to, are numbers 1 and 2: ask questions about what she's hearing and distinguish between fact and opinion.

A critical listener must distinguish between fact and opinion in order to make an appropriate evaluation of what is being said. An appreciative listener is listening for enjoyment. While options 1 and 4 could also be things are critical listener does, they are not required or a "must".
