Question

which of the following is a good way to make sure you understood a speaker’s message correctly? (select the best answer.)
○ make eye contact
○ paraphrase the information
○ take notes while the speaker is talking
○ make an agenda

Explanation:

To determine the best way to ensure understanding of a speaker's message, we analyze each option:

• "Make eye contact" is more about showing attentiveness during the speaker's delivery, not verifying understanding.
• "Paraphrase the information" involves restating the speaker's message in your own words, which helps confirm if you've grasped it correctly, as it requires you to process and re - express the content.
• "Take notes while the speaker is talking" helps in recording information but doesn't directly confirm if you've understood it.
• "Make an agenda" is related to planning and not to verifying understanding of a speaker's message.

Answer:

B. Paraphrase the information
