In non-verbal communication, which element includes body posture and space around the person?

• A. Facial expression
• B. Positioning
• C. Use of voice
• D. Appearance

Answer: (B)

Non-verbal communication uses cues beyond words, including how you stand and how close you stand to others. The part that covers body posture and the space around you is positioning. It reflects how you present yourself in the moment—an open, facing posture at a comfortable distance signals approachability and engagement, while a closed stance or excessive distance can suggest defensiveness or disinterest.

Facial expression shows emotion on the face, not posture or space. Use of voice refers to vocal qualities like tone, pace, and volume. Appearance covers clothing and grooming.
