Question

we say that nonverbal communication is _______, because our actions may have more than one interpretation, and because the exact meaning of a nonverbal message may only be known by the person displaying it

options:

• ambiguous
• continuous
• multi - channeled
• rule - governed

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "ambiguous" means having more than one interpretation, which matches the description (actions have multiple interpretations, exact meaning known only by the displayer).
• "continuous" refers to non - verbal communication being ongoing, not related to multiple interpretations.
• "multi - channeled" means using multiple channels, not about interpretation.
• "rule - governed" means following rules, not about multiple interpretations.

Answer:

ambiguous
