Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) A foreign language movie gives the viewer access to nonverbal forms of communication only-gestures, movements, facial expressions, intonations-without any verbal communication taking place, making "only nonverbal" the correct response. The choice indicating verbal, body language, and verbal intonation is incorrect because it includes spoken language, something that is not perceived in a foreign movie. "Only verbal" is incorrect because the spoken communication is exactly what the viewer misses in a foreign language movie. "Both verbal and nonverbal" is wrong because it includes verbal communication.
