multiple choice

expressing nonverbal messages

considering the social situation someone is in

asking a person as a way to check an interpretation of his or her nonverbal message

keeping in mind that cultural differences sometimes influence the meaning of a nonverbal message

Explanation:

Gabe asked his boss directly to check his interpretation of her non - verbal message (the frowning). This is a common strategy in communication to clarify misunderstandings. The other options are not relevant here. "Expressing non - verbal messages" is about sending, not decoding. "Considering the social situation" is too broad and not the specific action taken. "Cultural differences" are not mentioned in the scenario.

Answer:

Asking a person as a way to check an interpretation of his or her nonverbal message
