Answer 1

Answer:

B. Speaking and Writing

In language learning, skills are categorized into two main groups based on how information is processed:

• Productive Skills (Active Skills): Speaking and Writing are called productive skills because they require the learner to produce language to express their thoughts, ideas, or feelings.

• Receptive Skills (Passive Skills): Listening and Reading are called receptive skills because learners do not need to produce language; instead, they receive and process information provided by others.
