Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The rumor mill tends to be more active when the formal communication network is not providing the information employees need and want. People feel more comfortable and secure with strong communication. If that breaks down, people will look to informal sources. The other answers don't relate to how a rumor mill works.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Informal communication takes place naturally when employees interact, both on the job and in social settings. Some of it takes place when the formal network doesn't provide information that employees want.
