Which term refers to using posture, facial expression, and gesture to convey authority?

• A. Body language of meaning business
• B. Unclear standards
• C. Communicating expectations
• D. Confusing instruction

Answer: (A)

Nonverbal signals like posture, facial expression, and gesture are how you project authority without saying a word. When you want to come across as confident and in control, you use deliberate, composed body language—standing tall, steady eye contact, purposeful gestures—to show you mean business. The best choice is the one that explicitly links body language to a business context, signaling authority and seriousness. The other options don’t describe using nonverbal cues to convey authority; they refer to standards, expectations, or instruction instead.
