friends, colleagues, or even strangers. They involve communication,
understanding, trust, and support.
b. Non-verbal communication refers to the transmission of messages or

expressions, body language, gestures, and tone of voice. An example of
non-verbal communication is when someone crosses their arms and avoids
eye contact during a conversation, indicating defensiveness or disinterest.
c. Body language can indeed be more meaningful than actual words in
certain situations. For example, if someone says they are fine but their tone

and intentions of others.
