Why should listeners pay close attention to word choice?
to better understand the speaker's intentions
so as not to confuse connotation and tone
to allow their emotions to be manipulated by the speaker
all of these

To better understand the speaker's intentions.

Explanation:

When an author writes any text, he puts particular attention to his choice of words. He does so because he is aware of the fact that particular words have particular connotations and meanings. Therefore, he has to chose those that best suit his purposes. If the reader pays close attention to the word choice of the author, he will better understand the speaker's intentions.

different situations we experience in life may be of   great influence   in our personality. it 's clear that a critical moment may change many decisions we could take.

in someway, refering to the book's description of the facts,   it's difficult to state how a person could feel commited, or willing to achieve his or her goals in life and to focus on his or   her personality development.

the person may lose interest on how he or she is or looks like, or even who he or she is. the main focus is trying to survive, or suffer less, looking forward to eating, dreaming about being free one day.

in this situation is very difficult to think about development. it's rather impossible.

yes this is an analog in my view
