Answer to Question 1

A
You will sometimes encounter speakers with unusual voices or accents. In these instances,
very active and focused listening is required to adapt to the challenging characteristics of the
speaker's voice. In situations like these, maintaining your mental focus on the speaker's
message is your main priority.

Answer to Question 2

C
One of the nonverbal cues that lets a speaker know you are listening to him or her is giving the
speaker your undivided attention. In other words, don't continue reading a report or working on
your computer during the conversation. Also, don't look at your watch frequently. Doing so
signals a preoccupation with other matters and possible conflicting time commitments.
