Answer to Question 1

B
Physical distractions are usually easier to prevent in a speaking or listening situation because
the surroundings can often be controlled or changed. Physical distractions include such things
as discomfort due to improper heat or air-conditioning, health conditions like headaches or
personal illness, and noise such as that from lawn equipment or sirens.

Answer to Question 2

B
The personality of the receiver particularly the emotions, attitudes, and prejudices that are
likely to influence the way the message is interpreted. The receiver's knowledge, interest, and
emotional state will affect how the message is received.
