Answer to #1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Answer promptly and with a smile so that you sound welcoming. Identify yourself and your company (some companies have specific instructions for what to say when you answer). Establish the needs of your caller by asking, How may I help you?

Answer to #2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Broad categories of nonverbal communication include facial expression, gestures and postures, vocal characteristics, personal appearance, touch, and time and space.

Answer to #3

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Like touch, time and space can be used to assert authority, imply intimacy, and send other nonverbal messages. For instance, some people try to demonstrate their own importance or disregard for others by making other people wait; others show respect by being on time. Expectations and interpretation regarding time vary by culture, or whoever is in the group meeting.

Answer to #4

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Paying special attention to nonverbal signals in the workplace will enhance your ability to communicate successfully. Moreover, as you work with a diverse range of people in the global marketplace, you'll also need to grasp the different meanings of common gestures, expressions, and other signals in various cultures.

Answer to #5

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Nonverbal signals play a vital role in communication because they can strengthen a verbal message (when the nonverbal signals match the spoken words), weaken a verbal message (when nonverbal signals don't match the words), or replace words entirely. For example, you might tell a client that a project is coming along nicely, but your forced smile and nervous glances will send an entirely different message.
