Part A Based on the Latin root and suffix, what is the definition of the word gesticulations as Poe uses it? "quality of using pleasing movements of the hands or arms" "state of entertaining guests through movement" "process of copying the body movements of another" "act of making movements with the body to emphasize ideas"

Answer 1

"act of making movements with the body to emphasize ideas"

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "gesticulation" means using the body to express movements with all members and physiognomic expressions to emphasize the ideas and concepts that are being spoken.

This word has as its root the word "gestus" which refers to body language through gestures and is linked with the Latin verb "gesticŭlus" which refers, literally, to body movement as a form of communication.
