Question

which nonverbal cue most likely indicates that a person is open to a conversation?
○ lack of eye contact
○ crossed arms
○ smiling mouth
○ monotone voice

Explanation:

To determine the nonverbal cue indicating openness to conversation, we analyze each option:

• "Lack of eye contact" often suggests disinterest or discomfort, not openness.
• "Crossed arms" typically signals defensiveness or closed-off body language.
• "Smiling mouth" is a positive, inviting nonverbal cue that shows friendliness and openness to interaction.
• "Monotone voice" is a vocal (not nonverbal) cue and conveys disengagement or boredom.

Answer:

C. smiling mouth
