Omission is associated with which action?

• A. Verbal denial
• B. Non-verbal shake of the head
• C. Written note
• D. Spoken confession

Answer: (B)

Omission involves leaving information out, which is often conveyed through nonverbal behavior rather than spoken words. A non-verbal shake of the head signals withholding or not providing information without making a statement, making it the clearest cue of omission. Verbal denial is an explicit spoken negation and thus not about withholding information; a written note could omit details but relies on written form rather than a spontaneous nonverbal signal; a spoken confession reveals information, the opposite of omission.
