  • A.Listening skill
  • B.Intellectual skill
  • C.Expressive skill
  • D.Receptive skill

Answer: C

Conversation is an expressive skill: the speaker puts thoughts into spoken words and so expresses them, which is the productive side of language. Listening and receptive skills belong to the receiving side, where the person takes in what others say or write. An intellectual skill is a general term for reasoning abilities and does not name a language skill. The answer is expressive skill. The four skills of language are usually grouped as receptive (listening and reading) and expressive (speaking and writing). Since a conversation is carried on by speaking, it falls on the expressive side, and it needs the listener's reception only as the other half of the exchange.
