Ian is running for the U.S. Congress as a Green Party candidate. During a local
debate he shares the stage with a Republican and a Democrat. When it is his turn to speak about job creation, Penny (who is attending the event) expects him to advocate a number of ideas with which she will disagree. As he begins to speak, he notes how advances in technology make green energy jobs in wind and solar an already thriving area of growth with a promising future. Immediately, Penny begins to contemplate a counterargument, believing he likely is against coal and oil and how America needs an "all-of-the-above approach." How would you assess Penny's listening in this situation? A) It's fine. She has a right to react to what Ian is saying and to prepare for the discussion following the speech. B) Penny needs to suspend judgment, listen to the complete message, and avoid rebutting Ian's remarks until he is finished. C) Penny appears to be a passive listener, and will need to devote more effort to listening to this speech. D) Penny has failed to understand whom Ian is addressing with his remarks.
