b. trying to figure out how the speaker has organized his or her information
c. making sure you know the meaning of every word spoken

• Option B: Understanding the speaker's information structure allows you to organize notes logically, prioritize key points, and follow the lecture's flow, which is a core effective note-taking technique.
