Question

which action demonstrates effective communication?
communicating primarily in written formats
hiding private thoughts and feelings
considering what the other person is trying to say
avoiding discussing or displaying negative emotions

Explanation:

Effective communication involves active listening and understanding. Considering what the other person is trying to say shows engagement and an attempt to grasp their message. Relying solely on written formats (first option) limits communication depth. Hiding thoughts/feelings (second option) and avoiding negative emotions (fourth option) hinder open dialogue. Only the third option promotes true interaction.
