Question

B. LISTENING FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION
C. LISTENING IN DETAIL
D. LISTENING TO INFER​

Answer 1

B Listening for specific information.

Answer 2

B. Listening for Specific information, that only needs a piece of information from that text.

Explanation:

• Listening for Gist is defined as the most important pieces of information about something, or general information without details.

• Listening for detail refers to the type of listening we do in which we can't afford to ignore anything because we don't know exactly what information of the listening passage will be necessary to complete the task.

• Listening for specific information, you need to have some idea of what you're listening for before you listen and while you're listening.

• Listening to infer, you need to listen for clues in the text or use general knowledge to guess the meaning of what the speakers are saying.
