Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Physical distractions are usually easier to prevent in a speaking or listening situation because
the surroundings can often be controlled or changed. In a writing or reading situation,
however, the writer has little influence over the reader's surroundings.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
The sender and the receiver respond to each other through written, oral, nonverbal, or through
a combination of these components. Feedback may include a written response, verbal
questions, and nonverbal gestures such as body language and facial expressions.
