In which situation can non-verbal cues have more impact than spoken words?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When facial expression gives a message different from words
Non-verbal cues include facial expression, posture, gestures, eye contact, and vocal features such as tone. When a person’s face or posture contradicts the spoken words, the listener may pay attention to the emotional cue and question the sincerity of the words. Option A gives such a situation. Sentence length, topic simplicity, or correct spelling alone does not make non-verbal cues stronger.
