Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gestures are very effective in communication, but the same gestures can have different meanings in other countries which can cause a lot of confusion when communicating. An example of this is the gesture used to ask for a ride in the USA, which is characterized with the thumb raised, over the other fingers, which are lowered laterally. Although this gesture means a ride request in the USA, the same jesto means "ok" in Brazil.
