Question 3

Which of the following is not a turn requesting cue?&#10;A) Inhalation&#10;B) Facing other interactant&#10;C) Eye contact with speaker&#10;D) Backward lean

Accepted Answer

Backward lean is not typically considered a turn requesting cue in conversations. Turn requesting cues are signals that a listener wants to take a turn in speaking. These often include nonverbal behaviors like inhalation, facing the other interactant, and making eye contact with the speaker, which indicate readiness to engage or take over the conversation. Backward lean, on the other hand, can indicate disengagement or a stepping back from the interaction, rather than a desire to take a turn speaking.
