Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Passive aggression is characterized by condescension and sarcasm. Avoidance of conflict is associated with passive communication. Passive aggressive communication is not necessarily dependent on the authority level of the other party nor is it associated with inconsistency in communication style.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The first step in making changes to communication skills is to assess the one's present communication style. This should precede taking actions such as becoming more assertive, modeling other people, or asking for specific communication advice.
