Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual kinesic communication includes body language and appearance, both of which were observed by Susan to conclude that Alan was not interested in the job. Upward communication refers to communication that flows from lower-level employees to higher-level employees, horizontal communication refers to communication that occurs between individuals on the same level of an organization, and vocal kinesic communication refers to the tone, pitch, and volume of someone's voice, which cannot be inferred from the scenario.
