Explanation:

1. Body language.- It is a non-verbal communication where we can observe physical behaviors (postures, gestures, body movements, etc). In this example, Brendan seems impatient or in a hurry.

2. False.- This does not mean they meet my physical needs, it is something emotional.

3. Siblings.- Siblings are brothers/sisters from the same mother and father; whilst family involves another relatives like cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.

4. True.- Shauna's parents are teaching her a type of discrimination by telling her the family is from another country different from hers.

5. Her parents.- Allison's parents are part of the problem, that is the reason they are not suitable to talk about the problem since their perspective would be compromised and impartial.
