Which of the following is listed as a nonverbal way to communicate?

• A. Eye contact
• B. Written notes
• C. Verbal script
• D. Phone call

Answer: (A)

Nonverbal communication relies on cues we give without using spoken words. Eye contact is a key example because it shows you’re paying attention, engaged, and confident, and it can convey empathy or interest without saying anything at all. Written notes involve written language, so they’re a form of verbal communication conveyed in text. A verbal script is spoken language, which means it’s also verbal. A phone call uses voice and words, so it’s another form of verbal communication. In social interactions and customer service, eye contact helps communicate attentiveness and trust, making it the nonverbal option among the choices.
