Which option shows an inconsistency between words and body language?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Repeatedly checking the watch while saying that one is interested
In option C, the words express interest but repeatedly checking the watch commonly signals impatience, distraction, or a desire to leave. The verbal and non-verbal messages therefore conflict. Smiling while thanking, nodding with agreement, and using a calm respectful tone generally support the spoken message rather than contradicting it.
