Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Face-to-face communication has the highest potential information-carrying capacity of the communication
mediums. People have a natural tendency to rely on nonverbal communication cues, and face -to-face
communication allows for the simultaneous observation of multiple cues including body language, facial
expression, and tone of voice, providing people with a greater awareness of context.
