which statement is true about the similarities between nonverbal and verbal communication?
a they rely on formal language systems.
b they use words to convey meaning.
c they require clear use of grammar.
d they are influenced by culture.

Explanation:

Non - verbal communication (like gestures, facial expressions) and verbal communication (using words) are both influenced by culture. Different cultures have different norms for both. For example, a gesture may have a positive meaning in one culture and a negative one in another. Verbal language also has cultural - specific vocabulary, idioms etc. Options A, B and C are incorrect as non - verbal communication does not rely on formal language systems, use words or require grammar in the same way as verbal communication.

Answer:

D. They are influenced by culture.
