What term describes the use of body and facial movements to convey messages in communication?

• A. Etiquette
• B. Body language
• C. Communication
• D. Active listening

Answer: (B)

Body language is the use of body and facial movements to convey messages in communication. It’s a form of nonverbal communication that includes posture, gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and other movements, and it helps express emotions and intentions beyond spoken words. Etiquette refers to manners and appropriate behavior, not how messages are conveyed through movement. Communication is the overall process of sending and receiving messages, which includes both verbal and nonverbal elements. Active listening is a listening approach focused on understanding conveyed messages, not the physical signals people send.
