Which action is an aspect of both critical thinking and active listening?

a. evaluating
b. questioning
c. mirroring
d. paraphrasing

The correct answer would be A.

Explanation:

Both critical thinking and active listening requires you to evaluate what is happening, if you are actively listening to someone you want to evaluate what that person is saying so you know how much input you want to put into the conversation, and if you are thinking, you want to evaluate how logical is the answer and if it is true or not, how much evidence you have and how clear if your argument.

it is not B because if you are actively listening to someone who trusts you, you do not want to question what they are saying as they are confiding in you.

It is not C because you do not want to mirror what others are telling you, or what your conclusions are, it does not need to be a copy of what is happening, instead you want to be sure that your arguments are clear and true before repeating them.

It is not D because just like in C, you do not want to repeat or shorten what you are listening or whatever conclusion you are getting to need to be clear and logical instead of just paraphrasing anything.
