Explanation

Listening skills are directly affected by the speed of the speech, the timing of the speech and the regional accent.

Statement 3, the speed of the speech, affects how much the listener can follow and retain.

Statement 4, the timing of the speech, affects attention across the listener's alertness.

Statement 5, the regional accent, affects how clearly the words are recognised.

Student protocol is a rule of conduct, not a direct influence on hearing the message.

Administrative interest is an institutional factor removed from the act of listening.

Clarity, pace and accent shape comprehension at the receiver's end.
