What does the acronym LEAPS stand for?

  1. Listen, Engage, Act, Proceed, Sustain

  2. Lead, Empathize, Answer, Provide, Secure

  3. Listen, Empathize, Ask, Paraphrase, Summarize

  4. Learn, Educate, Apply, Persuade, Support

The correct answer is: Listen, Empathize, Ask, Paraphrase, Summarize

The incorrect options, A, B, and D, do not accurately represent the meaning of LEAPS as it pertains to communication skills. Option A includes the words "Act" and "Proceed" which may imply a rush to action, rather than actively listening and empathizing with the other person. Option B includes the words "Lead" and "Secure" which may not necessarily be applicable in a communication setting. Option D includes the words "Educate" and "Persuade" which may not be a direct result of effective communication.
