Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Different cultures have different norms regarding eye contact. In some cultures, avoiding direct eye contact is a sign of respect, while in others it may be seen as disrespectful or dishonest. Given that the boy is from a different country, it is possible that he comes from a culture where maintaining eye contact with authority figures is not the norm.  This would be the most reasonable conclusion for Giulia to make without more information.
