- They ask clarifying questions if something is confusing.

- They ask questions to ensure understanding.
Not correct:
- They listen while multitasking — multitasking reduces attention and comprehension.
- They take lots of notes while someone is talking — taking concise, relevant notes can help, but “lots” of note-taking can distract from active listening.
