Solution:
1.
Thumbs-up gesture
-
Type: Nonverbal
-
Explanation: A thumbs-up is a gesture used to convey approval, agreement, or positivity. It does not involve words and is therefore nonverbal.
2.
Speech bubble with "Hello!"
-
Type: Verbal
-
Explanation: The word "Hello!" is a verbal greeting. Even though it is presented in a visual format (speech bubble), the content itself is verbal communication.
3.
Hat with "LOL" written on it
-
Type: Verbal
-
Explanation: "LOL" stands for "Laugh Out Loud," which is a written form of verbal communication. Although it is displayed on a hat, the text itself is verbal.
4.
ABC board (with letters)
-
Type: Verbal
-
Explanation: The ABC board contains written letters, which are part of verbal communication. Letters are used to form words and convey meaning through writing.
5.
Number "7"
-
Type: Verbal
-
Explanation: Numbers are symbols used in written communication to represent quantities. While they are not words, they are part of verbal communication because they convey meaning through written symbols.
6.
Word "seven"
-
Type: Verbal
-
Explanation: The word "seven" is a written representation of a number. It is clearly verbal communication because it uses words to convey meaning.
7.
Cartoon character laughing ("HA HA")
-
Type: Nonverbal
-
Explanation: The cartoon character's laughter ("HA HA") is depicted visually without actual speech. This is a form of nonverbal communication, as it conveys emotion through visual cues rather than words.
8.
Stop sign
-
Type: Nonverbal
-
Explanation: A stop sign uses a symbol (a red octagon with the word "STOP") to convey a message. While the word "STOP" is verbal, the overall communication method (using a symbol) is nonverbal.
