Answer to Question 1

TRUE
A limp handshake can communicate nervousness or a feeling of inferiority; a firm handshake
communicates confidence. Touch, or haptic communication, is a primary method for achieving
connection with people, indicating intention, or expressing emotion.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
Physical attributes such as appearance, facial expressions, eye contact, and posture all
contribute to kinesics, or body language. Body language, or kinesics, is the gestures,
movements, and mannerisms by which a person communicates with others.
