Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receiving involves actively listening to the speaker, which means focusing on what they are saying rather than formulating your response. It includes nonverbal cues and attitudes as well as verbal messages. While accepting the message is important, it does not necessarily end with acceptance as there may be follow-up questions or discussions. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Finally, receiving is not only limited to verbal messages, as nonverbal cues such as body language and tone of voice can also convey messages. Thus, option D is also incorrect.
