Elliot is having trouble listening effectively in his political science class. the professor has been presenting information quickly while simultaneously flipping through an abundance of powerpoint slides containing complex statistical data. elliot doesn't know where to focus his energies. this is an example of a. message overload. b. prejudgment. c. message complexity. d. preoccupation. e. lack of mindfulness.

Option a

Explanation:

As per Elliot's scenario, Elliot is not able to process effectively the Professor presentation due to his fast and simultaneous flip of slides in the presentation.

Thus Elliot is not able to centralize his energy and this results from message overload, where one receives messages more than he can process.

This is one of the listening obstacles.

1. cold turkey (no outside ). about 90% of people who try to quit smoking do it without outside support -- no aids, therapy, or medicine. although most people try to quit this way, it's not the most successful method. only about 5% to 7% are able to quit on their own.

2. behavioral therapy. this involves working with a counselor to find ways not to smoke. together, you'll find your triggers (such as emotions or situations that make you want to smoke) and make a plan to get through the cravings.

3. nicotine replacement therapy. there are several types, including nicotine gum, patches, inhalers, sprays, and lozenges. they work by giving you nicotine without the use of tobacco. you may be more likely to quit with nicotine replacement therapy, but it works best when you use it with behavioral therapy and lots of support from friends and family. and remember that the goal is to end your addiction to nicotine, not simply to quit using tobacco.
