alleryParaphrasing in active listening means:
ARepeating exact words only
BCorrecting the speaker
CRestating it in own words
DChanging the topic
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Restating it in own words
1. Paraphrasing is a basic active-listening technique.
2. It involves putting the speaker's message in one's own words.
3. This shows understanding and continues the discussion.
**Why not the others:** Repeating exact words, correcting the speaker and changing the topic do not show understanding in the listener's own words.
