Statement II:The linear model of communication was the basis of propaganda during World War II.

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 the linear model was made to produce intended results and did serve as the base of wartime propaganda.

Statement 1 is sound because the linear model, as a one-way flow from source to receiver, is aimed at generating intentional, planned outcomes in the audience.

Statement 2 is sound because this same one-way, effect-seeking model underlay propaganda during World War II, when messages were pushed to move mass opinion.

The two fit together, one naming the model's purpose and the other its historical application.

Neither claim overreaches, so reading either as false would misplace the linear model's design and use.

Its stress on a sender acting on a passive receiver is exactly what suited it to directed persuasion and propaganda.
