CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Explanation
Both statements are true and hold together as the double face of communication.
The first says communication can be a path to seek truth, which is sound because open exchange, inquiry and dialogue help uncover facts.
The second says communication can also be used to suppress truth, equally sound because the same channels can spread lies, hide facts or silence voices.
The same instrument can thus reveal or conceal depending on its use.
Propaganda and censorship show its power to suppress, while free debate shows its power to reveal.
This dual potential makes ethics central to communication.
