Question

multiple choice question
the best way to improve your listening ability is to:

block out sounds and read the speakers lips
keep listening lighthearted

take listening seriously
replace passive verbs used by the speaker with action verbs

Explanation:

Taking listening seriously involves active engagement, focused attention, and intentional practice, which are core to improving listening ability. Blocking out sounds and lip reading is not a general method for listening improvement. A lighthearted approach lacks the necessary focus, and rephrasing verbs does not target the core skill of listening comprehension.

Answer:

C. take listening seriously
