Answer: The short story by Jerome K Jerome (of Three Men and a Boat fame) called The Dancing Partner, is about a group of young girls who are talking about the fact that none of them can seem to find tgood dancing partners. Overheard by one of the girls' fathers, the man determines that he can build the ideal dancing partner, one who won't complain and will not step on their feet. He creates a dancing partner named Lt. Fritz. But when he is built the girls aren't sure about dancing with him. Finally, one girl does dance with him and realizes that she is enjoying herself. The girl, seeking to dazzle the rest of the dancers, loosens the screw on the mechanical dancer, and he goes faster and faster. At some point it becomes evident that she's passed out. They looked for the maker of the robot, but couldn't find him. Finally, they do find him, but it is too late for the young woman. She is dead. From that day forward the mechanical inventor stuck to making smaller things.

Two scenarios where all examples of non-verbal communication functions are shown are:
"Your mother wants to tell you that she will go to yours, but she doesn't want your little brother to hear, in which case, she replaces the words, with a movement with her hands that indicates that she will leave the house. In this conversation you include an information using your hand to indicate to your mother where the car keys are. "
"Your friend is talking to you about her new boyfriend, she talks about how aggressive he is, but that is because he loves her very much. You contradict what she says, making a movement with your head that indicates denial and says that this is not an ideal behavior for someone in love. Your friend shakes her hands trying to change what she said, but you regulate the situation by raising a hand and saying that you don't want to hear any more. "

Non-verbal communication is that which is done without the use of written or spoken words. However, all messages are transmitted through movements, gestures and facial expressions. This type of communication represents a transmission of messages in a very expressive way and shows the content of the message, it also serves to transmit codes and secret messages.

Figurative language is a simile or metaphor -- neither is used here. An allusion is a reference to a well-known person, place, or thing; an allusion is not used here. Parallelism is using similar grammatical structures and does not appear here.
Imagery is a description that appeals to any of the five senses, but especially the visual sense. In this passage, Baldwin is clearly describing the slap (which we can see and hear in our mind) of the child, the pain which reverberates through heaven -- we can visualize this pain reaching out into heaven and embedding itself in the universe.
Due to the visual power of these words, the correct answer is C.

"The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure."
