A teacher gives instructions orally in class and also uses hand gestures. Which combined form of communication does this illustrate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Verbal and non-verbal communication
The spoken instructions use words and voice, so they are verbal communication. Hand gestures convey meaning without spoken words and are therefore non-verbal communication. Because both channels are used together, A is correct. There is no written message in the situation, so B and the options claiming only one mode are incomplete.
