Answer to Question 1

ANS: Active
The active listener is always thinking, not just hearing the words. Active listeners listen with full attention, are open-minded and curious, and are always asking themselves questions about the content.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: Passive
The passive listener receives sounds with little recognition or personal involvement. This listener may be doodling, staring out the window, or even staring at the instructor but thinking about having to change the oil in the car or deciding what to cook for dinner.
