Read the scenario about a formal discussion. A neighborhood watch association is having a discussion about installing street lamps around the perimeter of a playground. The discussion moves on to cost, and the head of the association asks if anyone has had the chance to research pricing. Simone comments that installing street lamps around a playground that closes after dark is a waste of money. Tatiana presents some information about the city's rising crime rates. Brandon shares pricing information about some energy-efficient sodium lamps and suggests a neighborhood development grant they can apply for to cover the costs. Char asks Juana if she ever repaired her fence, and Juana responds by telling her how much the repair cost. Who is demonstrating active listening skills? Simone Tatiana Brandon Juana

C). Brandon.

Explanation:

Active Listening is exemplified as the listening that involves listening actively or listening with keeping the senses active. An active listener pays complete attention to what is being said or described and reflects his attention by giving non-verbal nodding or verbal reply attentively as it encourages the speaker to move forward more conveniently and efficiently and ultimately leads to healthy communication.

In the given question, Brandon would be considered as an active listener as he 'shares the pricing information along with its application' which demonstrates that 'he was actively listening to the problems'. He assessed and evaluated the problems sincerely and offered a worthy solution that demonstrates his active listening skills (as he first let others discuss their views and problems and then came up with a common solution to all the problems that exhibits his active listening and response). Thus, option C is the correct answer.
