Answer to Question 1

FALSE
One powerful and effective way of owning the content presented to you by a speaker is to
paraphrase the message. In doing so, the listener crystallizes her or his understanding of the
content, and the speaker has the opportunity to correct any discrepancies from the core of her
or his intended message.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
One reason we as listeners stop paying attention is that we hear faster than most speakers
can speak. The average person can speak 125 to 150 words a minute, but a good listener
processes 300 or more words a minute.
