If a person remains silent but their facial expression shows disagreement, what should be understood in communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nonverbal cues are also conveying a message
Silence does not mean that no message or response exists. A facial expression can communicate disagreement, uncertainty, or discomfort without spoken words, so it is non-verbal feedback. The observer should notice the cue and, where appropriate, ask a respectful clarifying question rather than assuming the person agrees.
