Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Oral communication is an interactive spoken exchange. Its characteristic effects include direct personal connection and immediate feedback, while meaning is also shaped by tone, context, and interpretation.
Application
Personal connect follows from direct interpersonal exchange and is a characteristic effect of oral communication.
Feedback follows from the receiver’s immediate response and is another characteristic effect of oral communication.
Fragmented information is a possible transmission limitation rather than a defining effect; objectivity is not guaranteed; and interpretation remains present.
Contrast
Fragmented information describes message loss or distortion.
Objectivity is not inherent because delivery and reception can be subjective.
Absence of interpretation is inconsistent with oral cues such as tone and context.
Result
The applicable statements are (B) Personal connect and (C) Feedback only.
