Answer to Question 1

TRUE
Explanation: Filtering refers to a sender's purposely manipulating information so the receiver will see it more favorably. A manager who tells his boss what he feels the boss wants to hear is filtering information. The more vertical levels in the organization's hierarchy, the more opportunities there are for filtering. But some filtering will occur wherever there are status differences.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
Explanation: Transactional and transformational leadership aren't opposing approaches to getting things done. They complement each other, though they're not equally important. Transformational leadership builds on transactional leadership and produces levels of follower effort and performance beyond what transactional leadership alone can do. But the reverse isn't true.
