Explanation
★Evaluative listening is basically about accepting or rejecting an idea given to the listener, so that is the answer.
★In evaluative listening the listener actively judges the message rather than just receiving it.
★So the core act is to weigh the idea and decide whether to accept or reject it.
★Feeling the emotions of the speaker is empathetic listening, a different type.
★Hearing everything without judgment is passive, undiscriminating listening, the opposite of evaluating.
★Ignoring the message is not listening at all, so evaluative listening is basically accepting or rejecting the idea.
