Answer 2

The blank can be filled by : Be quick to Hear But slow to Speak

Explanation

• Given incomplete sentence is Be quick to hear _ slow to speak.

• We have to fill the blank with appropriate word so that it gives suitable meaning to the sentence.

• We can fill the given blank with two words i.e. and / but.

• Both words will give slightly different meaning to sentence.

• If we use "and" word then it will work as connector between two sentences and if we use "but" word then it will act as subordinating conjunction.

• So we can fill the blank with any of these two words as per our need and the meaning of sentence that we want to generate.

• Here we want to generate meaning of sentence as Listen attentively but don't rush to speak.

• So we will use "But" here to fill the given blank.
