Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A filled pause can be a hesitation marked by a sound (e.g. "uh" or "um") or a phrase (e.g. "you know"). This can be used as a filler while the speaker is thinking, a way to signal a change in topic, or as a way to hold the floor during a pause. It can also be a repetition or a false start in some cases. However, an unfilled pause (A) and an unfilled hesitation (D) do not involve any sound or phrase and thus cannot be any of the options listed. A blocking pause (C) and a blocking hesitation (E) refer to a physical or mental block that prevents the speaker from continuing their speech, and are not related to any of the options listed.
