Another kind of message the eyes communicate is a positive or negative attitude.

Question

Another kind of message the eyes communicate is a positive or negative attitude. When someone glances toward us with the proper facial expression, we get a clear message that the looker is interested in us-hence the expression "making eyes." At the same time, when our long glances toward someone else are avoided by that person, we can be pretty sure that the other person isn't as interested in us as we are in him or her. (Of course, there are all sorts of courtship games in which the receiver of a glance pretends not to notice any message by glancing away, yet signals interest with some other part of the body.) The eyes communicate both dominance and submission. We've all played the game of trying to stare somebody down, and in real life there are also times when downcast eyes are a sign of giving in. In some religious orders, for example, subordinate members are expected to keep their eyes downcast when addressing a superior. 1. The relationship of sentence 8 to the sentences that precede it is one of a. time. b. comparison. c. illustration. d. addition.

Explanation / Answer

The answer is:

d. addition

The line shows continuation of what looks like a description of "what are the different kind of messages that our eyes communicate". It seems as a few of the types were already described before the sentence 8, and so, sentence 8 is an addition to this list of types.

On the other hand, the relationship between sentence 8 and sentence 9 is of "illustration" type, wherein, sentence 9 explains (a little more practially) the meaning of sentence 8.

Hope this helps...
