b. understanding and sharing another persons feelings

Explanation:

1. Interpersonal skills involve interaction with others. Listening to a friend's problem is an interaction - based skill. Solving a math equation is a cognitive skill, running fast is a physical skill, and memorizing facts is a memory - related cognitive skill.
2. Calmly asking someone to let you finish when interrupted is a polite and effective way to handle the situation in interpersonal communication. Yelling is aggressive, ignoring may not resolve the issue, and walking away is rude.
3. Empathy is the ability to understand and share another person's feelings. Agreeing with everyone is not empathy, caring only about your own feelings is the opposite of empathy, and telling people what to do is not related to empathy.

Answer:

1. B. Listening to a friend's problem
2. C. Calmly ask them to let you finish
3. B. Understanding and sharing another person's feelings
