    How do people and even animals express power and dominance?

    • By mirroring other people

    Correct Answer
    A. By expanding, stretching and opening up
    Explanation
    When people and animals express power and dominance, they often exhibit behaviors that involve expanding, stretching, and opening up. This can include standing tall, puffing out the chest, spreading out limbs, and taking up more physical space. These actions are seen as displays of confidence and assertiveness, signaling to others that they are in control and should be respected. By contrast, closing up and wrapping ourselves up are typically associated with feelings of vulnerability or submission. Mirroring other people's behavior can also be a way to assert dominance, as it can be seen as a form of imitation or mimicry that establishes a sense of control.
