Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Note making and condensing material require active listening and promote organization of key ideas and concepts. Using shorthand requires transcription and does not necessarily result in organized notes. Tape recording simply gives a replay of the lecture; it does not organize the information. Passive listening does not contribute to organization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Student A demonstrates no personal involvement in the class and thus is considered a passive participant. The students described in all of the other options demonstrate personal involvement and are considered active listeners and participants.
