Answer 1

Hint: Nonverbal contact accounts for a significant portion of our communication. Every day, we respond to thousands of nonverbal cues and actions, such as postures, facial expressions, eye gaze, movements, and voice tone, according to experts. Nonverbal cues show who we are and influence how we interact with others, from handshakes to hairstyles.

Complete answer:
Facial expressions, gestures, paralinguistics such as voice volume or sound, body language, proxemics or personal space, eye gaze, haptics (touch), appearance, and objects are all examples of nonverbal communication.
Option A) Employees will post their ideas on an online blog. So, there are no Facial expressions, gestures, etc. Hence this option is incorrect.
Option B) A company logo is designed to describe the image of the organization, here image means the reputation of the organization, which shows the expression of the company in the logo. Hence, this option is correct.
Option C) This sentence is simple, there is an email message for employees for an upcoming staff meeting. So, there is no nonverbal communication. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D) In this sentence, there is a call from an attorney for a client. There is no nonverbal communication. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option ‘B’ i.e, A company logo designed to project the organization’s image as an example of nonverbal communication.

Note: Nonverbal communication does not involve the use of spoken words. Emblems are nonverbal signs that can be converted into words in most cases. Within a community or party, the majority of people agree on what they say. The "A-OK" sign, made with the thumb and forefinger, is a good example.
