Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

You obviously need to gather information coming from the speaker. Besides that, you have to question the speaker's reasoning to make sure that his logic is or isn't sound. You need to be able to separate what makes sense from what doesn't, which brings us to the last one: reflecting the speaker's thoughts and feelings.
