Repeating in your own words the verbal content of the critic's message is:

paraphrasing.
checking for feelings.
checking for inferences.
buying time with limited agreement.

Again you misspell "business" and you don't bother to tell us what YOU THINK.

Hmmm =(

The correct answer is paraphrasing. When you restate or summarize the verbal content of a critic's message using your own words, you are paraphrasing. This technique helps ensure that you have understood the critic's message accurately and can show that you are actively engaged in the conversation.
