Answer to Question 1

Answer:
1. Competitive listening is characterized by a stronger desire to explain our own point of view than to understand someone else's. This type of listening undermines relationships by impeding our grasp of our partner's information, experiences, and concerns
2. Passive listening is characterized by persistent silence and a failure to provide feedback that ensures the speaker that his or her message is being received. This type of listening undermines relationships by causing the speaker to question whether the listener has truly heard, understood, and cares about the speaker's concerns.
3. Active listening is characterized by an attempt not only to hear the speaker's words, but also to understand the speaker's message. The listener confirms understanding by restating or paraphrasing the message before responding. This type of listening shows the speaker that the listener has understood the message and cares about what the speaker is thinking and feeling.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Many community organizations support the single lifestyle, providing opportunities for single people to lead rich, rewarding lives and maintain a supportive network of friends as well as family. Moreover, cohabitation has become an increasingly common choice for Americans, and the great majority of couples now cohabitate before marriage. People who have never married are not necessarily people who are not in an intimate relationship.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
