Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A communication medium can be classified by how its content is selected, transmitted, produced, and experienced in time.
Invocational media are called up by the user; non-live delivery need not coincide with an event; cinema constructs a recorded there-and-then experience; television conventionally emphasizes nowness.
Application
Apply each characteristic to the operating mode of the medium:
Medium | Characteristic |
|---|---|
Video-on-demand | Invocational: the viewer requests selected content when it is wanted. |
Datacasting on Internet | Absence of being live: data can be delivered without a simultaneous live event. |
Cinema | There-and-then production: the screen experience is constructed from recorded production for exhibition. |
Television | Nowness: television conventionally presents events with a sense of immediacy and presence. |
Cross-check
The defining clues give A–IV, B–I, C–II, and D–III; each characteristic is used once, so the one-to-one matching is complete.
Therefore, the matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III).
