Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When nonverbal cues are incongruent with the verbal information, messages are likely to be misinterpreted. When the verbal message is inconsistent with the nonverbal expression of the message, the nonverbal expressions assume prominence and are generally perceived as more trustworthy than the verbal content.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The majority of person-to-person communication is nonverbal. Actions speak louder than words. Process refers to interpersonal sensitivity. Content refers to giving information.
