Read the scenario about a formal discussion. sam is participating in a group discussion about the importance of healthy eating. throughout the discussion, he checks his phone frequently and stares out the window. however, sam is listening to the discussion and will be able to recall details about it later. he even contributes a few ideas, paraphrases for clarity, and asks some questions. why isn’t sam demonstrating good speaking and listening skills? sam is not taking notes. sam is not asking a lot of questions. sam’s body language does not show engagement. sam is not making connections with prior knowledge.

In this scenario, Sam does not show good speaking and listening skills in the discussion because he does not make direct contact with the audience and other participants in it, so the correct answer is "Sam’s body language does not show engagement."

First of all, the particpants may think Sam is not interested in the discussion but rather in his phone, which is often considered a distraction in a formal meeting like this scenario; and secondly, because Sam also stares through the window, this may indicate he is bored; thus his action to not look at people but at objects apart from the discussion does not enhance good communication among people.

Explanation:

the symbol of the grandfather's heritage in this excerpt from "the medicine bag,” is the beaded bolo tie.

a bolo tie is a cord fastened around the neck with an ornamental clasp which is worn as a necktie. they have been used by native american tribes such as hopi, navajo, zuni, and puebloans since the mid-20th century.

therefore, the fact that the grandfather is wearing a bolo tie refers to his heritage as native american.
