Answer 1

None of the behaviors listed are recommended in a discussion. In a productive discussion, it is important to actively listen, allow others to finish their points before responding, and contribute constructively. Here’s a brief explanation for each behavior listed:

1. **Staying silent until directly asked a question** - This can hinder engagement and may make it seem like you are not interested in the conversation.
2. **Focusing on competition** - Discussions should focus on collaboration and sharing ideas rather than competing against each other.
3. **Correcting a speaker while they are talking** - This is often perceived as disrespectful and can disrupt the flow of conversation.
4. **Interrupting whomever is speaking** - This is generally considered rude and can prevent a meaningful exchange of ideas.

A better approach would be to actively listen, wait for appropriate moments to contribute, and engage in a constructive dialogue.
