Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The visual, printed combination of channel and medium can convey complex ideas and relationships quickly and is often less intimidating than blocks of text. Simple charts and graphs are easy to integrate in the text. They require more time to create and can be expensive to print.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Oral medium via digital channels includes any transmission of voice via electronic means, both live and recorded, including telephone calls, podcasts, and voicemail messages. Live phone conversations offer the give-and-take of in-person conversations and can be the best alternative to talking in person. However, without a video component, they can't provide the nuances of nonverbal communication. Podcasts can be a good way to share lectures, commentary, and other spoken content.
