0. Assertion (A): Communication presupposes a shared, symbolic environment, a social relationship even among non-participants.
Reason (R): It leads to social interaction, which in combination with other factors contributes to a sense of community.
Choose the correct option given below:

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : Communication means sharing or exchanging of information, news, ideas, etc. by speaking, writing, or using some other medium. The most common medium of communication is language, though we also use non-linguistic symbols such as traffic lights, road signs, railway signals, airport signs for travelling, telegraphic code for quick transmission of messages and secret defence services codes. Communication always happens between/ among participants. So Assertion(A)is not true. "Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing," said psychologist Rollo May. Communication allowed for cultures to evolve. Communication is a never ending process that continues when the words stop and the interaction ends. So, the statement in (R) is true.
