What problem can occur if gestures and spoken words do not match?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The receiver may become confused
The receiver interprets both verbal and nonverbal signals. If a person says “I am calm” while appearing angry or threatening, the conflicting cues make the intended meaning uncertain. The receiver may become confused or doubt the message. Such a mismatch does not make communication more reliable, finish it automatically, or eliminate the need for words.
