Question

Explain how paraphrasing can be a helpful listening tool

Answer 1

it's a way of testing your interpretation

It strengthens the concept in one mind

Step-by-step explanation:

Paraphrasing uses specific terms to recreate something. But paraphrasing might be a valuable listening device because

(1) it's a way of testing your interpretation (the individual who initially told you confirms your interpretation and can verify it's correct or ask you whether it's wrong).

(2) It strengthens the concept in one mind, because in attempt to paraphrase it, one should have to call on their own understanding of what they just hear.

Answer 2

The most important part of paraphrasing something is that you understand the idea behind it, this means that while paraphrasing you have to pay close attention to what is being said.
