Answer:Avoid prejudging the speaker

Explanation:

Listening is crucial when we interact with others because through listening we accumulate knowledge.

It is vital part of listening to avoid prejudging the speaker as part of ethical listening, one needs to pay attention and carefully decode tue message before they can make judgements about the message of the speaker. It is not ethical to reject the message without having actual heard the message effectively.

Sophia just heard the accent of the speaker and from that she concluded without hearing the message first that she wasn't going to hear the speaker.
