Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A communication model arranges the essential parts of a message process according to their functional relationship. Aristotle’s rhetorical model is speaker-centred: a speaker prepares a speech for a particular occasion and audience in order to produce an effect.
The governing flow is therefore source, message, context, receiver, and outcome.
Application
Begin with the Speaker (B), the source who initiates the act of communication.
Next comes the Speech (A), the message created by the speaker.
The speech is delivered on an Occasion (D), which supplies the rhetorical context.
It is addressed to the Audience (C), whose response is sought.
The process culminates in the Effect (E) produced on that audience.
Cross-check
Reading the chain by function gives source → message → context → receiver → outcome, which maps to Speaker → Speech → Occasion → Audience → Effect. Hence the sequence is (B), (A), (D), (C), (E).
