Which of the following is an exclusive example of a non-verbal cue that includes pitch, rate, volume and the use of pauses?

AThe Linear Model of Communication
BThe Interactional Model
CGeneral non-verbal cues
DPara-language ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Para-language
Explanation

Para-language is the non-verbal cue that includes pitch, rate, volume and the use of pauses.

It is how something is said, the vocal quality layered over the words.

The linear model of communication is a one-way message framework, not a vocal cue.

The interactional model describes feedback-based exchange, again a model rather than a cue.

General non-verbal cues is too broad, covering all wordless signals rather than vocal features.

Para-language, also called paralinguistics, reads the voice alongside the words.
