Answer to #1

Answer: The first role of nonverbal communication is complementing verbal language. Nonverbal signals can strengthen, weaken, or even replace verbal messages. The second role is revealing truth. It is much more difficult to deceive others with nonverbal signals than with verbal ones. Finally, nonverbal communication conveys information efficiently, since nonverbal signals can convey both nuance and rich amounts of information in an instant.

Answer to #2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Personal appearance is a key part of business etiquette, but only the component of personal appearance that is under your immediate control. Therefore, grooming and wardrobe matter in business etiquette, because they are under your immediate control. Your height and weight, on the other hand, are not under your immediate control, so they are not considered a part of business etiquette.

Answer to #3

Answer: A
Explanation: A) To inform the speaker that you are following what is being said, short responses such as I see or brief clarifying questions are not only acceptable in business phone calls, but also highly recommended.

Answer to #4

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Mutual respect and consideration is the common thread that runs through successful teamwork, productive meetings, effective listening, and nonverbal communication.

Answer to #5

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: In many instances, nonverbal signals are very different between different cultures. The concept of personal space, for example, is understood differently in different cultures. Some cultures regularly practice what North Americans might condemn as an invasion of personal space, by standing too closely or touching too frequently.
