Question

Which of the following statements about listening is most accurate? a. Most individuals remember at least three quarters of what they hear. b. Most people are good listeners. c. We spend more time listening on the job than reading, writing, or speaking. d. We misinterpret, misunderstand, or change very little of what we hear.

Answer 1

Being a good listener requires qualities of attentiveness, empathy, and open-mindedness. These qualities can also be applied when reading a poem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Being a good listener requires qualities such as attentiveness, empathy, and open-mindedness. Good listeners do not interrupt, judge, or impose their own opinions. They actively engage with the speaker, using body language and facial expressions to show understanding and support. On the other hand, a bad listener may be distracted, impatient, or dismissive, not giving the speaker the attention they deserve.

These concepts can be related to reading a poem by adopting the same qualities of being a good listener. When reading a poem, it's important to be attentive, open-minded, and try to grasp the meaning and emotions conveyed by the poet. Just like a good listener, a good reader of poetry immerses themselves in the words, emotions, and imagery presented by the poet.

Answer 2

Answer: d. We misinterpret, misunderstand, or change very little of what we hear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Listening is the ability of a person to receive and interpret the information by the receiver. This is the key to effective communication. Without the ability to listen properly the information can be misunderstood and misinterpreted.

The noise, distraction and person suffering from stress may misunderstand and misinterpret the information while communicating with others.

Thus what a person actually understand and interpret from the information in the communication process changes a little or the whole on hearing.
