Fred: (waves to sarah) hi, i just moved here. my name is fred. sarah: hi fred. where are you from? fred: florida. the weather here in michigan sure is cold. sarah: i know what you mean, i moved here from san diego two years ago. wait until january. fred: i can just imagine. hey do you mind if i sit with you for a little while? sarah: no, take a seat. i’d love the company during lunch. fred: it’s been hard to meet anyone since i started school last week. sarah: no worries. i know exactly how you feel. i moved at the end of the school year and didn’t get to know anyone. then i spent the summer alone. fred: aw, bummer. it sure is tough to start a new school. sarah: yeah, but when school started again, i met some cool people. fred: i am really shy about meeting new people. sarah: well, i can introduce my friends to you. (bell rings) fred: that would be great! guess lunch is over. it’s been great talking to you. sarah: you too. meet me here for lunch tomorrow and i’ll introduce my friends. fred: great. bye. sarah: later. fred’s opening is a. nonverbal b. formal c. negative d. none of the above

I think its non of the above

The correct answer is A. Nonverbal

Explanation:

In communication, an opening refers to the beginning or initial stage of a  conversation or discussion. This opening is usually lead by one of the participants that begin the conversation or discussion and introduces the main topic. Additionally, an opening can be of different types, this includes verbal opening, in which the communication is begun by words; non-verbal opening in which gestures, symbols or similar are used; formal openings that use formal language or informal opening that rely on informal language. In the case presented, there is a conversation between Fred and Sarah and is Fred the one that starts the conversation, this first section or opening occurs when Fred "waves to Sarah" this means the opening is mainly non-verbal as Fred uses a gesture instead of words to greet Sarah and begin the conversation. Thus, Fred's opening is nonverbal.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
