Match item in in list-I with those in list–II and select the correct answer from the code given below the list. List-I (Negative personal Behavior) A) one hand on back of neck B) Narrowing eyes C) stroking nose D) glasses removal and putting them down List-II (Reason) 1) No longer listening 2) exaggeration 3) disapproval 4) disagreement

The answer is A: A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1. This is a nonverbal communication item, so the matching rests on standard body-language interpretations rather than any statute or text. Read each cue as a signal of the listener's state.

• A (hand on back of neck) matches 4 (disagreement). The hand goes to the neck when a person is uneasy and not accepting what is being said.
• B (narrowing eyes) matches 3 (disapproval). Narrowed eyes signal judgment or displeasure with the speaker or the content.
• C (stroking nose) matches 2 (exaggeration). The nose-stroke is read as a sign of doubt about the claim being made, that the speaker is stretching the facts.
• D (removing glasses and putting them down) matches 1 (no longer listening). Setting aside the glasses signals that the listener has mentally disengaged and is closing the exchange.

The Mains connection is in communication skills and ethics: a civil servant reads a citizen's or colleague's cues to judge whether a message has landed. Keep in mind that a single cue means little; the pattern across a conversation matters more.

Trap: Aspirants match by a single common meaning of each gesture and overlook that 'exaggeration' and 'disapproval' are both close in feel. Check each pairing against the most specific reading.
