DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation
Both statements are false.
The first claims persuasive communication does not blur the line between truth and falsehood, yet persuasion often bends, selects and colours facts precisely to move opinion, so it can indeed blur that line.
Its aim is to win agreement rather than to keep truth and falsehood cleanly apart.
The second claims mass mediated communication never reflects truth, another sweeping absolute.
Mass media frequently do report accurate facts and genuine events even while carrying bias.
Because one overstates persuasion's honesty and the other denies media any truth, neither holds.
