All ears
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. To listening attentively.
- To Listening attentively is a suitable option.
- All ears" refers to listening with eagerness and attentiveness. It is implied that when someone says they are "all ears," they are listening intently to what other people are saying. The other choices are wrong since they don't convey the spirit of listening carefully
- Compared to other options:
- To scold someone bitterly: This phrase refers to a severe scolding that has nothing to do with listening.
- To Listen to Everyone: This suggests hearing from several sources, but it lacks the focus and attentiveness suggested by "all ears."
- To not be vocal: This implies remaining silent, which does not imply listening attentively.
