Question

read the scenario about a formal discussion. jin is participating in a formal discussion about a physics experiment. throughout the discussion, jin contributes meaningful ideas, supports them with data, and makes connections to other ideas. when it is his turn to speak, he sits up straight and speaks using proper grammar. when it is not his turn, he slumps down in his chair and rests his head on his hand. despite not looking at other participants, he still pops his head up to ask a few questions when needed. how can jin improve his participation in a formal discussion? he needs to make connections to prior knowledge. he needs to improve his body language when listening. he needs to ask for clarification at the appropriate time. he needs to use language that is appropriate to the topic.

Explanation:

In a formal discussion, body language during listening is important. Jin slumps and rests his head when not speaking, which is poor body language. Making connections (already does), asking clarification (does), and using appropriate language (does) are okay. Improving body - language during listening is the key.

Answer:

He needs to improve his body language when listening.
