Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank about the listening process, we analyze each blank based on the descriptions:

First blank (after "understand and"):

The listening process aims to fully understand and keep (retain) a message. So the first blank should be "retain".

Second blank (the first step of the listening process):

The first step involves hearing and the ability to register sound waves. This step is "receiving".

Third blank (under the "receiving" step, after "involves"):

This is the process of identifying and interpreting sounds as words, which is "attending".

Fourth blank:

This is the process through which the listener determines the context and meaning of words, so it is "understanding".

Fifth blank:

This is the process of the listener assessing information received from the speaker, so it is "evaluating".

So the filled - in blanks from top to bottom (and in the relevant positions) are: retain, receiving, attending, understanding, evaluating.

Answer:

• First blank (after "understand and"): retain
• Second blank (first step): receiving
• Third blank (under receiving): attending
• Fourth blank: understanding
• Fifth blank: evaluating
