Many have heard me but nobody has seen me and I will not speak back until spoken to. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“A ghost”
While a ghost is often said to be heard but not seen, it does not fit the criteria of only responding when spoken to, as ghosts are typically depicted as having their own form of communication.
“A secret”
A secret can be known or shared but does not literally 'respond' or require being spoken to in the same way an echo does.
“A thought”
Thoughts exist internally and are not heard by others; they do not have a physical presence or respond in a tangible way.
