Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Probing response is suitable during the early stages of listening to a message. This will help to ensure that you fully understand the situation because probing response encourages the speaker to share more information and elaborate on the situation. Reflecting response is more useful in the later stages of listening when you want to check your understanding of the speaker's message. Reassuring and diverting responses are not appropriate during the early stages of listening as they do not help you to fully understand the situation.
