  • 2. 

    Withholding information restricts the flow of ideas.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Withholding information refers to intentionally not sharing or providing certain information. When information is withheld, it limits the ability to freely exchange ideas and thoughts. By not sharing all relevant information, the flow of ideas is restricted because people may not have access to complete or accurate information to contribute to discussions or decision-making processes. This can hinder collaboration, problem-solving, and overall progress. Therefore, the statement "Withholding information restricts the flow of ideas" is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Typical downward communication refers to the flow of information from higher-level managers or supervisors to lower-level employees or subordinates. In this type of communication, managers or supervisors initiate the transmission of information, which is then passed down to workers or subordinates.

    Explanation
    Content refers to the facts and assertions that are contained in the message itself. It includes the information, ideas, and data that the message is conveying. The content is what the sender wants to communicate to the receiver and is the main substance of the message. It is separate from the sender, feedback, and repository, as these elements are not directly related to the actual information being conveyed in the message.

    Feedback completes the communication process and begins the process all over again.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Feedback is an essential part of the communication process as it allows the sender to evaluate the effectiveness of their message and make necessary adjustments. It also provides an opportunity for the receiver to clarify any doubts or misunderstandings. By providing feedback, the communication process is not only completed but also initiates a new cycle of communication, allowing for further understanding and improvement. Therefore, the statement "Feedback completes the communication process and begins the process all over again" is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. Informal
    Explanation
    Informal communication refers to the spontaneous and casual exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions. It is characterized by its relaxed and unstructured nature, allowing for open and free-flowing conversations. In informal communication settings, individuals feel more comfortable expressing their thoughts and opinions without the constraints of strict rules or protocols. This natural tendency to freely exchange ideas makes informal communication the most suitable form for the free exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

    A sentence has unity when the parts of the sentence match in number, verb, possession.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because unity in a sentence means that all the parts of the sentence, including the subject, verb, and possessive form, should agree in terms of number and form. This ensures that the sentence is grammatically correct and coherent. If there is a mismatch in any of these elements, it can lead to confusion and lack of clarity in the sentence. Therefore, it is important for the parts of a sentence to have unity for effective communication.
