Question

After a lengthy meeting with the boss and several of his coworkers, Alex asked his friend Jeff if he was concerned about the number of layoffs that his boss said were coming. Jeff looked puzzled for a moment before telling Alex that he wasn't sure when exactly their boss had said to expect layoffs. That exchange reflects which of the following myths of listening?
A. Listening is natural and effortless.
B. Hearing is the same as listening.
C. All listeners hear the same thing.
D. People vividly recall information that they hear.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

In a long meeting it is not possible for a person to have focus on every single detail. That is why all listeners don't hear the same thing and they might have forgotten or just skipped one or two points during the meeting. Everyone hears everything but listening requires critical thinking, skills and focus.
