Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nichols (2009) specifically states that the second purpose of listening is to "bear witness to their experience." While showing care and validation may be important aspects of effective listening, they are not the specific purposes described by Nichols in this context. Answer D, answering the person's questions, is not a purpose of listening, but rather a task or action that may result from effective listening.
