Which term is associated with non-verbal cues such as space and mannerisms?

• A. Non-verbal communication
• B. Verbal communication
• C. Empathy
• D. Sympathy

Answer: (A)

Non-verbal communication Non-verbal communication covers the ways we convey information without words, including how we use space (proxemics) and our body language, gestures, and facial expressions (mannerisms). These cues carry meaning about our attitude, emotions, and intentions and can reinforce or contradict what we say aloud. In contrast, verbal communication relies on spoken or written words, while empathy and sympathy describe our ability to understand or share another’s feelings rather than the channel of communication itself. So space and mannerisms fit squarely under non-verbal communication because they convey messages without spoken language.
