Question

Rephrasing Grant's point shows that Elton is not only hearing what he has to say, but also processing and comprehending it. This can help Grant feel heard and understood. Averting his gaze or speaking in a louder voice may not necessarily indicate active listening, and a neutral facial expression may not be enough to convey understanding.
