Although a smile cannot be seen during a phone call, why can it still affect communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because smiling can make the voice tone warmer and more positive.
A smile is not visible to the person on the other end, but it can affect the speaker’s facial muscles, breathing, tone, rhythm, and emotional expression. As a result, the voice may sound friendlier and more welcoming. Option A describes this indirect effect. Smiling does not create background noise, convert speech into writing, or stop the voice from being heard.
