Answer:

1) Causing self-consciousness.

If a piece of clothing is "embarrasing," it means that it causes you to feel self-conscious about it. The piece is not necessary ugly, but it can be flashy, tacky or out of style.

2) Erica ran at the gym and John is tall.

3) taking notes; finding the main idea.

Being an active listener means getting being actively engaged with the message you are receiving. There are many ways in which you can do this. For example, you can take notes in order to demonstrate to the speaker that you are listening to what he is saying. You can also engage with the information by trying to identify the main idea.

4) Certain words can elicit a particular emotional response from the audience; many words have certain images or associations for most listeners and might affect what they think of the speech.

Word choice is an important factor in determining how successful a speech is. Words are not neutral, and some words might cause an emotional reaction in the audience or elicit a negative association that might affect how they perceive your speech.

5) Satire

6) Ask questions; Listen attentively; Take notes.

7) Exaggeration

8) Worn-out
