Speaking and Listening: Effective Group Discussions
Question 5 • 26-27 SAS Ignite Career Planning and Development - EL4222
Bailey is participating in a group discussion about family pets. Bailey is anxious to share her experience raising chickens and selling their eggs for extra money. She is so excited that she raises her hand frequently and interrupts others as they speak.
Answer
A
Bailey is a good listener because she asks questions to better understand the speaker.
B
Bailey is a good listener because she uses attentive body language and takes notes.
C
Bailey is not a good listener because she makes frequent interruptions.
D
Bailey is not a good listener because she uses informal language inappropriately.
Explanation
A good listener lets others finish speaking before responding. Bailey frequently interrupts because she is eager to share her own experience, so she is not listening respectfully. Choice C correctly identifies the frequent interruptions as the problem; the question gives no evidence that her language is inappropriate.
