A speaker keeps a calm face during criticism but tightly grips the edge of the chair. What may this indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Internal tension despite outward calmness

The governing concept is that different non-verbal channels may communicate different states at the same time. A calm face can create an outward impression of control, while tightly gripping a chair may indicate physical tension, anxiety, or discomfort. Hence, option C is the most careful interpretation. The grip does not prove relaxation, acceptance, or a desire to ask a question, and one cue alone should not be treated as certainty.
