in terms of effective listening, what does skepticism mean?
□ questioning whether a claim is supported by evidence
□ finding fault with the speaker
□ responding cynically toward the speaker
□ investigating to see if statements are valid

Explanation:

Effective listening skepticism involves critical evaluation of the speaker's content, not negative or cynical judgment of the speaker. Questioning if claims have evidence and investigating statement validity are critical, skeptical listening practices. Cynicism and fault-finding are negative, non-critical behaviors that do not align with effective skeptical listening.

Answer:

• Questioning whether a claim is supported by evidence
• Investigating to see if statements are valid
