Answer 1

As an observer who has been observing two people both sitting down studying without talking to each, I would conclude that communication occurred between this people. This is because communication is not only in form of talking and the type of communication that was used in this case these people used the nonverbal form of communication where by the participants communicate by use of body language. I can testify that communication occurred because after two hours of studying they left the study meaning that they used facial expressions to signal that it was time for them to leave the study room. This is clear evidence that communication occurred between the two.
