Question

During her speech to persuade her classmates to get involved in campus politics, leatrice pounds the podium to draw her audience's attention to a particularly important point. leatrice has used nonverbal communication to __________ verbal communication.

Answer 1

The correct answer is accent.
To accent means to emphasize, to stress, to focus attention to something, to bring a matter forward. So, by communicating with her classmates nonverbally (by using actions rather than words), she is stressing her implied words and asking her classmates to join the discussion.
