logical flaws in Amena’s counterclaim.

Active listening in a debate means focusing on the substance of her argument—its claims, evidence, assumptions, and logical consistency—so you can respond effectively. Grammatical slips, stumbles, or eye contact are distractions and not relevant to evaluating her reasoning.
