Which of the following is a sign that someone is listening?
A. Avoiding eye contact
B. Nodding when they agree
C. Having arms folded and using negative body language
D. Looking disinterested



Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. Nodding when they agree.

Explanation:

Nonverbal communication is when we communicate with others through means other than verbal speech. This includes eye contact, body language, posture, facial expression, etc

Why this answer is correct:

B. Nodding when they agree:

  • Nodding one's head is a form of nonverbal communication. It expresses that we are actively listening to what is being said without having to verbally state that we are.

Why the other answers are incorrect:

A. Avoiding eye contact:

  • Avoiding eye contact can be a sign that we are distracted or not interested in the conversation. When we are distracted or disinterested, we are not paying attention to what is being said. 

B. Having arms folded and using negative body language:

  • Folding our arms and using negative body language can indicate discomfort. If we are uncomfortable, we are most likely not listening. 

C. Looking disinterested:

  • Looking disinterested indicates boredom. If we are bored in a conversation, then we are most likely zoning out and not listening to what is being said.
