Question

which nonverbal cue most likely indicates that a person is open to a conversation?
lack of eye contact
crossed arms
smiling mouth
monotone voice

Explanation:

To determine the nonverbal cue indicating openness to conversation, we analyze each option:

• "lack of eye contact" often suggests disinterest or discomfort, not openness.
• "crossed arms" is a closed - off body language, indicating defensiveness or lack of openness.
• "smiling mouth" is a positive nonverbal cue that shows friendliness and a willingness to engage, which is associated with being open to conversation.
• "monotone voice" is a vocal cue that can suggest boredom or disengagement, not openness.

Answer:

C. smiling mouth
