Answer to Question 1

FALSE
When nonverbal cues contradict verbal cues, people tend to trust their perception of the
nonverbal cues. Therefore, even from the first impressions people form about you, through
personal and professional relationships as they grow, the nonverbal information you broadcast
will weigh heavily on your influence and impact on people.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
Patricia looking at her watch is an example of nonverbal communication. Nonverbal
communication is communication without words.
