Good listeners:

A) use enlightened self-interest.
B) attend to our internal monologues.
C) focus on factors incidental to the topic.
D) focus on the cultural differences between themselves and the speaker.

Good listeners use enlightened self-interest, meaning they listen actively and attentively because they believe it will benefit them in the long run. They understand that being a good listener can improve relationships, increase knowledge and understanding, and lead to better decision-making. Attend to our internal monologues and focusing on incidental factors are not characteristics of good listeners, and while understanding cultural differences can be important for effective communication, it is not the primary focus of being a good listener.
