Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. One of the most important features that distinguish reading from listening is the nature of the audience.

It should be clear, then, that the listener has to take an active (83) in the process by ignoring the speaker’s (84) and mistakes, and by seeking out the main idea information through recall and prediction. To keep the process going (85) he also has to inform the speaker that he has understood (86) actually interrupting.
