Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Conjunctive communication is a focus on statements that flow from what has previously been said and that facilitate interaction. This statement is an example of specific, rather than global, communication.
B) Incorrect. Owned communication is a focus on taking responsibility for your own statements by using I words. This statement is an example of specific, rather than global, communication.
C) Incorrect. Problem-oriented communication is a focus on problems and issues that can be changed rather than people and their characteristics. This statement is an example of specific, rather than global, communication.
D) Correct. Specific communication focuses on avoiding overgeneralization, extreme statements, or false dichotomies (either-or statements).
