Which guideline emphasizes making eye contact and smiling?

• A. Be Happy
• B. Don't be Bashful
• C. Be like Sleepy
• D. Don't be Dopey

Answer: (A)

Making eye contact and smiling are nonverbal cues that signal warmth and confidence in interactions. The guideline that emphasizes being happy most directly supports using these signals, since projecting happiness leads to a natural, welcoming smile and steady eye contact. These behaviors help you come across as approachable and engaged. The other options are less precise about conveying openness; they either imply shyness to avoid, or rely on character traits that don’t explicitly connect to the visible cues of eye contact and smiling. So being happy is the best fit because it directly promotes the outward expressions that make conversations feel friendly and inviting.
