What is the most effective way to sustain a conversation?

A) Ask open-ended questions and listen to responses.
B) Reveal personal information about yourself immediately.
C) Withhold information about yourself.
D) Limit the use of nonverbal messages.

Asking open-ended questions allows for more detailed and thoughtful responses, which can lead to a more engaging conversation. Additionally, actively listening to the responses shows the other person that you are interested and invested in the conversation. Revealing too much personal information too quickly or withholding information can make the conversation feel one-sided or uncomfortable. Nonverbal messages can also add depth and expression to the conversation, so limiting their use may hinder the flow of the conversation.
