Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jack's behavior of moving around the room and gesturing freely can be interpreted as an expression of power, which aligns with the idea that men often occupy more space as a demonstration of their social dominance. This contrasts with Jean's more contained posture, which does not assert dominance over the space in the same way.
