B1, 2 and 5 only ✓ Correct

C1, 2 and 4 only

D2, 3 and 4 only

Correct answer: (B) 1, 2 and 5 only

Explanation

Body language aiding classroom communication rests on eye contact with students, a reduced spatial distance, and non-confrontational gestures.

Statement 1 works because meeting learners' eyes signals attention and builds rapport.

Statement 2 works because narrowing the physical gap draws the class in and warms the exchange.

Statement 5 works because open, gentle gestures keep the climate cooperative.

Reduction in the personal space of students crowds them and provokes discomfort, which makes it not a positive cue.

Keeping the arms folded reads as a closed, defensive posture, while warm gesture and expression form the nonverbal channel of teaching.
