In an interview, a candidate expresses agreement by smiling without saying anything. What type of communication is this?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Non-verbal communication
A smile is a facial expression, so it communicates an attitude or feeling without spoken or written words. It is therefore non-verbal communication. Verbal communication requires words, written communication requires written symbols, and mass communication sends messages to a large audience; none of those describes this individual facial expression.
