Ques. 10Read each paragraph and its topic in bold print. Is the topic too narrow or too broad, or is it the
correct topic? Choose the letter of the correct answer.
To identify a person's communication style, focus your full attention on observable behavior. The
best clues for identifying styles are nonverbal. Learn to be observant of people's gestures,
posture, and facial expressions, and the rapidity1
and loudness of their speech. Animated facial
expressions, high-volume, and rapid speech are characteristic of the emotive2
communication
style. Infrequent use of gestures, speaking in a steady monotone,3
and few facial expressions are
characteristic of the reflective style. Of course, verbal messages will also be helpful. If a person
tends to be blunt and to the point and makes strong statements, you are likely observing the
director style of communication.
Topic: communication styles
a. too broad
b. too narrow
