Which category involves gestures or facial expressions?

• A. Non-Verbal
• B. Verbal
• C. Indirect/Third
• D. Physical Contact

Answer: (A)

Gestures and facial expressions fall under nonverbal communication, which covers signals conveyed without spoken words. This category captures body language, facial cues, and other cues that communicate meaning alongside or instead of words. Verbal would involve spoken or written language, so it’s not about gestures or expressions. Indirect/Third isn’t the standard label for this kind of cue, and Physical Contact refers to touch rather than gestures or facial expressions. Since gestures and facial expressions are classic examples of nonverbal signals, the best fit is Non-Verbal.
