While giving presentations, many speakers constantly hold their hands around waist$-$chest height. Sometimes, their hands are moving around to make a gesture, but their hands

are often just lingering in front of their stomachs. There are $3$ steps to making a gesture discussed by the textbook. $($BCFS $11\mathrm{.}3)$

Raising your hands up a little bit is the "anticipation step," which shows the audience that you're going to make a gesture. Then, the actual gesture occurs in the "implementation

step," such as counting numbers on your hand, pretending to do something $($e$.$g$,$ a restaurant guest signaling to a sever that they want their bill by air$-$signing a check$),$ or pointing

in a direction. The "relaxation step" is when we conclude the motion by putting our hands down. However, students often never conclude the gesture, so both the speaker and

the audience are in a constant phase of anticipation. Releasing a gesture and putting your hands down can show confidence and comfort and help your audience feel more at

ease while you're presenting.

The question is: The anticipation step is a form of nonverbal foreshadowing.
