Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
CONCEPT
A communication model is classified by the direction of message flow and by whether the receiver can return a response to the sender.
A linear model represents one-way transmission and does not contain an immediate feedback loop. A circular model represents continuing two-way exchange: the participants alternate sender and receiver roles, and feedback closes the loop.
APPLICATION
Statement I says that the circular model does not favour feedback. This conflicts with the defining return path of a circular process, so Statement I is false.
Statement II assigns continuity and immediate feedback to the linear model. A linear model is one-way and lacks that immediate return path, so Statement II is false.
CROSS-CHECK / CONTRAST
Statement | Model feature | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
I | Circular communication includes a feedback loop. | False |
II | Linear communication is one-way and has no immediate feedback loop. | False |
“Both Statement I and Statement II are true” reverses the feedback feature of both models.
“Both Statement I and Statement II are false” keeps the circular model feedback-based and the linear model one-way.
“Statement I is true but Statement II is false” misclassifies the circular model.
“Statement I is false but Statement II is true” misclassifies the linear model.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are false.
