What did Keisha notice about Andy as she watches him perform?

• A. He looked older
• B. He was not smiling
• C. He looked tired
• D. He looked excited

Answer: (B)

Nonverbal cues, like a facial expression, often reveal how a person feels in the moment. If Keisha notices Andy isn’t smiling while he’s performing, that detail signals more than just a mood—it shows he’s not relaxed or happy with the moment. A smile usually communicates ease, confidence, or enjoyment; its absence suggests he’s focused, tense, or worrying about something, which changes how we read the scene. So the best choice is the one that describes him as not smiling, because that specific facial cue directly captures her observed reaction and its emotional implication during the performance.
