Question

While giving a speech, Sally wants to make sure that she communicates effectively both verbally and nonverbally. To do this, Sally realizes that while her message is thought provoking, her nonverbal communication creates an affective response in her audience. Which type of distinction between nonverbal and verbal communication does this example represent?
a. Linguistic distinctionb. Continuity distinctionc. Information distinctiond. Outcome distinction

Answer 1

Answer:

D). Outcome distinction.

Explanation:

As per the description given, the kind of difference between verbal as well as non-verbal communication that has been exemplified here would be 'outcome distinction' as Sally's non-verbal communication leads to evoke an emotional and relational response from the audience. Thus, this affective function played by non-verbal communication of hers is directly reflecting the distinction to her verbal communication that is primarily inclined towards 'provoking the thoughts of the audience.' Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
