CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Explanation

The first claim is false and the second is true, so communication and socialisation are closely linked.

Saying they are non-convergent dimensions is wrong, since the two constantly work together.

Communication is in fact one of the main engines of socialisation in any society.

The second claim is correct because communication promotes shared values.

Those values help people take on the culture around them, aiding enculturisation.

Far from being separate, communication feeds directly into becoming a social, cultural being.
