DOne who becomes informal before the receiver and develops a rapport

Correct answer: (C) One who knows a lot but is somewhat reserved in attitude

Explanation

One who knows much but stays reserved in attitude is not a successful communicator, since unshared knowledge does not reach the audience.

Reticence blocks the flow of the message however rich the content may be.

Presenting material in a precise and clear way is exactly what a good communicator does.

Adapting to the language of the receiver ensures the message is understood, a mark of success.

Becoming informal and building rapport with the receiver eases communication and aids it.

Effective communication needs not only knowledge but the willingness to share it openly.
