which situations require critical listening?
□ a job applicant explaining why she should be hired
□ a father telling his daughter how much he loves her
□ a used - car salesperson describing the vehicle you are taking for a test drive
□ a politician promising to give you a million dollars and achieve world peace

Explanation:

Critical listening involves analyzing, evaluating, and judging the message to assess credibility, logic, and hidden motives.

• A job applicant's pitch needs evaluation of their qualifications and claims.
• A used-car salesperson may omit negative details, so critical listening is needed to assess the vehicle's true state.
• A politician's grand, unsubstantiated promises require critical listening to judge feasibility.
• A father's loving statement is emotional, not needing critical evaluation.

Answer:

A. A job applicant explaining why she should be hired
B. A used-car salesperson describing the vehicle you are taking for a test drive
D. A politician promising to give you a million dollars and achieve world peace
