At a business convention, you observe two people in conversation. The one who's talking right now
is standing erect, making strong but controlled hand gestures, and looking directly at the other
person. The other person is standing on one leg, looking around the room. He catches your eye and
quickly looks at the floor.
1. What is your likely impression of the listener?
A. He's nervous and uninterested.
B. He's interested in the conversation.
C. He's confident and relaxed.
D. He's the higher-ranking person.
my answer is a.
Yes, a.
Thanks
You are welcome.
To determine your likely impression of the listener, let's analyze the behavior you observed. When the person is standing on one leg and looking around the room, it suggests that they might be uneasy or distracted. Additionally, the fact that they catch your eye and quickly look at the floor indicates that they could be feeling self-conscious or even avoiding eye contact.
Based on these observations, it is reasonable to assume that the listener is nervous and uninterested (option A). This behavior suggests a lack of engagement with the conversation and potentially a discomfort in social situations.
