Lana, while listening to Ryan, is taking in the information presented to her. However, she is not making an attempt to process the information or enhance the messages sent by Ryan. Which form of listening is Lana adopting in the given scenario? Assertive listening Empathetic listening Attentive listening Passive listening

The correct answer is ''Passive listening''

Explanation:

When someone listens passively, they may appear superficially concentrating on what the speaker is saying, they are oblivious to the conversation where the flow of information takes place. A passive listener does not provide little to no non-verbal feedback to show that they are dedicated to what is being said. Although a passive listener will generally remain even during speakerphone conversations, they will not make eye contact, nod, or empathic facial expression. The message the speaker receives is that the listener is hearing them, but is not really interested.
