Intransitive movements are defined as movements that do not involve objects and usually involve what?

• A. Interpersonal communication such as saluting or waving goodbye
• B. Tool use and manipulation of objects
• C. Complex sequencing
• D. Facial muscle control

Answer: (A)

Intransitive movements are gestures that do not involve using or manipulating objects. They are mainly about social communication and conveying meaning to others. That’s why the best choice is the example of interpersonal actions like saluting or waving goodbye—these are classic non-object–based gestures used to communicate.

Choices that involve tool use and manipulation of objects describe transitive movements, which require an object to be involved. Complex sequencing isn’t specific to whether an action uses an object, and facial muscle control refers more to facial expressions rather than the social gestures typically categorized as intransitive.
