1.Appropriate word choice is essential for effective oral communication

2.Facial expressions and postures fall under visual communication

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 hold, so appropriate word choice matters for oral communication and facial expressions and postures do fall under visual communication.

Statement 1 is true because well-chosen words carry precise meaning and prevent misunderstanding in spoken exchange.

Statement 2 is true because expressions and postures are seen rather than heard, placing them within the visual mode.

Judging both statements false would deny two well-accepted facts about oral and visual communication.

Holding only the first true while rejecting the second wrongly removes visible body cues from visual communication.

Holding only the second true while rejecting the first wrongly denies the role of word choice in speech.
