Question

even though lucas has had first hand experience of the situation mila is describing and has a strong viewpoint, he allows her to finish her story and describe why she made her decision.
non - verbal communication
verbal communication
defer judgement
pay attention
submit

Explanation:

The scenario describes Lucas, who has his own viewpoint, waiting for Mila to finish her story and explain her decision instead of interrupting or judging. "Defer Judgement" means holding back from forming or expressing a judgment, which matches Lucas's action. "Non - verbal Communication" is about non - spoken cues, "Verbal Communication" is about spoken words, and "Pay Attention" is more about just listening without the aspect of holding back judgment. So the correct option is Defer Judgement.

Answer:

C. Defer Judgement (assuming the options are labeled A - D in order, with A being Non - verbal Communication, B being Verbal Communication, C being Defer Judgement, D being Pay Attention)
