While comparing hearing and listening, we can say that
AHearing is a physical process and listening is a psychological process ✓ Correct
BHearing is a psychological process and listening is a physical process
CBoth are mainly physical processes
DBoth are biological processes
Correct answer: (A) Hearing is a physical process and listening is a psychological process — Hearing is a physical process while listening is a psychological process, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Hearing is a physical process while listening is a psychological process, so that is the answer.
★Hearing is the automatic reception of sound by the ear, needing no attention.
★Listening is active and mental, since it involves attending to and understanding what is heard.
★So one can hear a sound without listening to its meaning at all.
★Calling hearing psychological and listening physical reverses the two and is wrong.
★Since one is bodily reception and the other mental attention, calling both physical or biological is also wrong.
