Interpersonal communication is usually defined by describing participants who are dependent upon one another and have a shared history. Communication channels, the conceptualization of media that carry messages from sender to receiver, take two distinct forms. What are the two forms?
  1. Context and conceptual
  2. Oral and visual
  3. Context and written
  4. Direct and indirect
Explanation
Answer - D - Direct channels are obvious and easily recognized by the receiver. Both verbal and non-verbal information is completely controlled by the sender. Indirect channels are usually recognized subconsciously by the receiver and are not always under direct control of the sender. Body language, comprising most of the indirect channel, may inadvertently reveal one's true emotions.
