Question

The different concerns the person shares

The person’s age and race

The person’s word choice, pace, volume and tone

All of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The person’s word choice, pace, volume and tone.

While understanding the person's concerns and considering their age and race can provide context, the specific non-verbal details related to their communication style (word choice, pace, volume, and tone) are critical for active listening and gaining a better understanding of their situation and needs.
