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

Statement I:Communication can create a feel-good factor among receivers.

Statement II:Communication can be used as an instrument to divide and alienate the receivers.

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 statements are true, since communication can knit receivers together and can equally be turned to split them apart.

Statement 1 is sound because communication can create a feel-good factor among receivers, lifting mood and building warmth and trust.

Statement 2 is sound because the same communication can serve as an instrument to divide and alienate receivers, sowing distance and suspicion.

The two capture the double edge of communication, one constructive and one destructive, both flowing from the same power.

Neither claim cancels the other, so reading either as false would hide half of communication's social reach.

Whether communication unites or divides depends on intent and use, which is why both effects are genuine possibilities.
