Explanation:

Turning off a cell phone eliminates potential distractions (e.g., calls, notifications) that would otherwise divert attention from the speaker. The other options are unrelated: prejudging involves forming opinions before listening, avoiding conclusions relates to critical thinking post-listening, and researching the topic is an action separate from managing immediate distractions during the speech.

Answer:

A. pay attention to the speaker.
