Question

question 43 (2 points) speakers engage in interruptive listening when they finish a listeners question for them and give the answer. pretend to pay attention while actually being distracted by internal noise. stop speaking midsentence, look at an audience member, and say, \you look like you have a question.\ fail to pay attention during the question and answer portion of the speech.

Explanation:

Interruptive listening occurs when a speaker takes over the listener's role. Finishing a listener's question for them and giving the answer is an example of this as it disrupts the natural flow of communication where the listener should be able to fully express their query. Pretending to pay attention (option 2) is more about inattentiveness rather than interruption. Stopping mid - sentence to address an audience member (option 3) is a form of audience engagement, not interruption. Failing to pay attention during Q&A (option 4) is just lack of focus, not interruption.

Answer:

finish a listener's question for them and give the answer.
