What is it called when you listen to the speaker with full attention?

  1. Listening

  2. Hearing

  3. Observing

  4. Noting

The correct answer is: Listening

Listening with full attention is simply called "listening." The other options may seem similar, but they each have different meanings or connotations that do not fully describe the act of listening with full attention. "Hearing" refers to the physical act of perceiving sound, while "observing" usually involves using one's senses to watch or study something. "Noting" could be interpreting someone's words or taking note of them, but it does not fully encompass the act of actively paying attention while someone speaks.
