Answer to Question 2

B
Intrapersonal communication can be thought of as self-talk. It is what people do within themselves,
and it can present as either doubts or affirmations. Interpersonal communication is communication
between individuals or small groups. A nurse presenting a workshop is an example of public
communication. Nonverbal language deals with body language or facial expressions.
