Explanation

A good listener does not only listen to what is said, but also pays attention to non-verbal cues, such as body language and tone of voice.

Submit
9. The most common type of listening you use as a student:

Explanation

As a student, the most common type of listening you use is informational listening. This type of listening involves actively paying attention to gather and understand information being presented. It is important for students to engage in informational listening in order to comprehend lectures, take notes, and retain information for exams and assignments. Critical listening involves evaluating and analyzing information, empathic listening focuses on understanding and connecting with the speaker's emotions, and therapeutic listening is used in counseling and therapy settings. However, in the context of being a student, informational listening is the most relevant and commonly used type.

Submit

Laryngoplegia is the correct answer because it accurately describes the paralysis of the laryngeal muscles and voice box. The term "laryngo" refers to the larynx, and "plegia" means paralysis. Therefore, laryngoplegia specifically refers to the paralysis of the laryngeal muscles and voice box. Pharyngoplasty and trachoplasty are not relevant to the question, and pharyngoplsia is not a recognized medical term.

Submit
15. The word "Hypogammaglobulinemia" means:

Explanation

The term "Hypogammaglobulinemia" refers to a condition characterized by a decrease in gamma globulin molecules in the blood. Gamma globulins are a type of antibody protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system.

Therefore, the correct answer is a decrease in gamma globulin molecules in the blood.

The correct answer is "None of the above" because interrupting the speaker is a sign of not actively listening, moving paper while listening may indicate distraction, and checking your mobile phone shows a lack of focus on the speaker.

Explanation

The HURIER Model of Listening is a framework that outlines the different stages of effective listening. It stands for Hearing, Understanding, Remembering, Interpreting, Evaluating, and Responding.

Encouraging is more related to the communication skills of the listener, rather than a distinct step in the listening model.

Submit

Explanation

Rejecting, negative inquiry, and fogging are all responses that are typically associated with destructive criticism. Destructive criticism refers to feedback or comments that are unhelpful, hurtful, or aimed at tearing down the person or their work rather than providing constructive suggestions for improvement.

Explanation

Positive reinforcement is not a non-verbal sign of attentive or active listening. Non-verbal signs of attentive or active listening typically involve body language and facial expressions, such as maintaining good posture, making eye contact, and mirroring the speaker's body language. Positive reinforcement, on the other hand, is a verbal or non-verbal response that rewards or encourages a behavior, and it is not directly related to the act of listening attentively.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "More than one answer is correct" because assertiveness includes both expressing thoughts and telling your opinion. It is not limited to just one aspect, but rather encompasses multiple ways of effectively communicating and standing up for oneself. The option "Lack of listening experience" does not accurately describe assertiveness, so it is not a correct answer.

Submit

Explanation

Men are generally more interested in facts than emotional messages because they tend to be more analytical and logical in their thinking.

In other words, for every unit change in the input, the output of the control system will change by 10%.

Submit
29. All of the following are clinical medicine sciences except:

Explanation

Public health is not considered a clinical medicine science because it focuses on preventing disease and promoting health in populations rather than diagnosing and treating individual patients. Clinical medicine sciences, on the other hand, involve the direct care and treatment of patients. Surgery, radiology, and pediatrics are all clinical medicine specialties that involve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and conditions in individual patients.

Submit
30. One of the following is NOT one of the prefixes pertaining to number:

Submit

Explanation

Being raised in a destructive criticism environment can greatly contribute to a person's unwillingness to accept criticism.
