Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paraphrasing is the best choice for improving listening as it involves repeating back what the speaker has said in your own words, which helps to ensure that you have understood what was said, and also shows the speaker that you are listening and interested in what they have to say. Listening just for facts (A) may result in missing important context or emotional cues, while not paying attention until the speaker clarifies their purpose (B) can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. Trying to listen harder as the day goes on (C) may be unsustainable and lead to burnout.
