Paying careful attention to both verbal and nonverbal messages is important when trying to understand what someone means. Verbal messages refer to the actual words the individual is saying while nonverbal messages refer to the individual's body language, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues. By paying attention to both, we can get a more complete understanding of the person's intended message. The other options are either too specific (sociological and psychological traits, interpretive and empathic behavior) or not relevant (evaluative and nonverbal responses, communicative and non-communicative messages) to understanding someone's meaning.
