Question

multiple choice question
what is probably the most effective way to tell whether you have understood what someone has said?
taking detailed notes that document exactly what the person said
making a video recording of the conversation
asking the speaker to repeat the most important points
paraphrasing during the conversation

Explanation:

Paraphrasing involves restating the speaker's message in your own words. This directly demonstrates that you have processed and understood the core meaning of what was said, rather than just transcribing or asking for repetition. Recording or verbatim note-taking only captures the message without confirming comprehension, and asking for repetition does not prove you already understand.

Answer:

Paraphrasing during the conversation
