Answer to Question 1

B
As a listener, you may be tempted to interrupt the speaker in order to make a point or to share
information you feel is important. However, a listener should resist the urge to interrupt. Wait
until the speaker has finished making a point and then respond with an appropriate comment.

A
In the scenario, Dan's listening was affected by internal noise. Internal noise includes
distractions such as pain, fatigue, preoccupation with other thoughts, hunger, worry, or a
personality conflict with the speaker.
