Correct choices:
- has the desire to listen attentively
- is aware of voice tone, gesture, and other nonverbal means of communicating
- understands the interpretation of literal and implied meanings, and the meanings of figures of speech

Explanation: A good listener wants to listen, attends to verbal and nonverbal cues, and can grasp literal and implied meanings. They do not need to be aware of every sound (they filter distractions), nor do they ignore the speaker’s actions or facial expressions.
