Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) The written, printed combination of channel and medium can minimize distortion, used to avoid immediate interaction and deemphasize inappropriate emotional components but lack the rich nonverbal cues provided by oral media. They also take more time and resources to create and distribute and can require special skills to prepare and produce.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The oral, in-person combination of channel and medium allow for immediate feedback, a chance to resolve misunderstandings, rich nonverbal cues and the opportunity to express the emotion behind the message, but it does not provide a permanent, verifiable record of the communication, unless recorded.
