Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) - CABD
The correct order of the jumbled sentences is CABD.
- Sentence C is the first sentence because it introduces the main idea of the paragraph. It tells us that there are three approaches to listening: listening for comprehension, listening for empathy, and listening for evaluation.
- Sentence A follows sentence C because it provides more information about the three approaches. It tells us that each approach has a particular emphasis that may help us to receive and process information in different settings.
- Sentence B follows sentence A because it explains that trained and good listeners may use all three approaches during a setting. It tells us that this can improve listening efficiency.
- Sentence D follows sentence B because it concludes the paragraph by stating that we do not listen well, even though we spend nearly half of each communication interaction listening.
