When listeners are actively engaged in the material and given the opportunity to respond, they are more likely to understand the speaker's message. This interactive environment encourages clarification, questions, and discussion which can facilitate comprehension. In the other scenarios, the listeners are either passively absorbing the material or reviewing something they have already completed, which may not be as effective in promoting understanding.
