During a small group meeting, where will coworkers find most of the meaning of the message?

A) Most of the meaning will come from the words spoken.
B) Most of the meaning will come from the accuracy of the handouts.
C) Most of the meaning will come from nonverbal cues.
D) Most of the meaning will come from the list of those invited to the meeting.
E) Most of the meaning will come from the visual aids such as PowerPoints.


Answer: C
Explanation: C) Nonverbal signals play a vital role in communication because they can strengthen a verbal message (when the nonverbal signals match the spoken words), weaken a verbal message (when nonverbal signals don't match the words), or replace words entirely. For example, you might tell a client that a project is coming along nicely, but your forced smile and nervous glances will send an entirely different message.
