DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect while statement 2 is correct.
Statement 1 claims that mass communication is much simpler than face-to-face, but reaching a large, unseen audience is in fact more complex.
Mass communication lacks the immediate feedback that makes face-to-face exchange easier to adjust.
Statement 2 says we use the 3S, sight, sound and smell, and the 2T, touch and taste, when we communicate.
This is correct, since our senses jointly carry and receive communicative cues.
The multiplicity of senses enriches interpersonal exchange in ways mass channels cannot match.
