4. Based on BOTH passages, what claim is made about introverts as listeners? Use at least ONE detail from EACH text to support your answer. Write your answer in the space provided. Remember to clearly reference the texts.

Answer 7

Based on both passages, the claim made about introverts as listeners is that they are fantastic listeners. In Passage 1, it is mentioned that introverts have a quiet confidence that allows them to listen carefully and take in information. This is supported by the statement, "Introverts are fantastic listeners." In Passage 2, it is stated that introverts direct their energy internally (thought) and this inward focus may enhance their listening skills. The passage also highlights that introverts are more likely to process information before speaking, which suggests that they carefully listen and consider what others are saying. Therefore, both passages imply that introverts possess strong listening skills.
