Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I:Sometimes the effects of communication are simple and direct.

Statement II:Depending upon the context, the effects of communication are many times complex and convoluted.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

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 descriptions of communication's effects hold true together, since effects range across a wide spectrum rather than a single kind.

Statement 1 is sound because at times a message does produce a simple and direct outcome, a clear stimulus followed by an expected response.

Statement 2 is equally sound because, depending on context, the same act can set off many-layered, tangled effects that are hard to trace.

The two are not rivals but a pair, one naming the plain case and the other the complicated case of the very same process.

Nothing in either sentence contradicts the other, so reading either as false would be a misjudgement.

Effects studies confirm that outcomes shift with audience, situation and prior attitudes, so both simplicity and complexity are real possibilities.
