AMentally composing a reply
BJotting key points
CParaphrasing the speaker
DAsking open questions
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Mentally composing a reply
1. Poor interpersonal listening shows in several habits. 2. These include excessive interruptions, inattention, hearing what you want to hear, mentally composing a response and a closed mind. 3. Jotting points, paraphrasing and open questions show attention instead. 4. So the sign of poor listening is composing a reply while the other person is still speaking. **Why not the others:** Jotting points, paraphrasing and asking open questions are active-listening habits. _Source: Wikipedia, "Listening", section "Interpersonal listening" (revision 1373457535)_
