Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Complainers may dump on one directly or may complain about other awful people. Complaining helps people appear blameless and innocent, at least to themselves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
One must consider the setting in which one communicates and time one's message for maximal impact. Listening, an active process that requires conscious attention, is critical to good communication.
