Which of the following is a listening strategy listed in the material?

• A. Abstract summarization after listening
• B. Silent reading
• C. Note-taking during listening
• D. Close-caption on video clip

Answer: (D)

Focusing on listening strategies means looking for tools that aid understanding while the listener is hearing the material. Close-caption on a video clip does exactly that by pairing spoken content with written text, so students can hear and read at the same time. This dual input supports word recognition, vocabulary development, and comprehension as the listening unfolds, which is why it is highlighted as a listening strategy in the material. Abstract summarization after listening is something you do after listening, not during; silent reading isn’t listening; and note-taking during listening is a common strategy too, but the item points to captions as the listed approach here, making it the best match.
