The critical part of listening among the options provided is:
**b using verbal and nonverbal communication to show a person is listening.**
Effective listening involves actively engaging with the speaker through both verbal feedback (like affirmations or summarizing what they've said) and nonverbal cues (such as nodding or maintaining eye contact). This helps to create an environment of trust and understanding. The other options can inhibit effective listening rather than enhance it.
