26. A key element for effective classroom communication is
- Option : D
- Explanation : By advocacy is meant 'support, encouragement and recommendation' for the client-who, in case of classroom communication, is the teacher's student. The teacher's advocacy is a key element in classroom communication as it motivates students to learn and excel. On the other hand, the teacher's passivity demotivates learners; negativity impairs academic achievement and harms their psychological as well as physical health; and deflection from the topic underway compromises the learning outcomes. All of these hamper communication.
- Option : A
- Explanation : Though 'sound is audible' is true, it is a rather
insignificant or trivial reason to support the
statement 'Sound is permanent'.
Fallacy of trivial reason: a reason given in support of a conclusion being very insignificant in establishing the truth or falsity of the conclusion.
Fallacy of the irrelevant reason: a reason given in support of a conclusion being irrelevant to the truth or falsity of the conclusion.
Fallacy of contradictory reason: a reason given in support of a conclusion being contradictory to the truth or falsity of the conclusion.

Propaganda is a kind of communication that serves the purpose of assertively spreading biased or misleading information to the extent that it persuades receivers to believe it as truth. So, R is the correct explanation of A.
- Option : D
- Explanation : In deductive arguments conclusions are certain
provided the premises are true.
In inductive arguments, even if all of the given premises are true, there is a possibility for the conclusion to be false.
In analogical arguments, two similar things are compared/associated, such that, what is true of one is also true of the other. So, conclusion may not be conclusively drawn from the premises.
Both demonstrative and non-demonstrative processes use analogy to prove/justify knowledge; and to obtain new knowledge, respectively. So, the conclusion cannot be drawn conclusively from the given premises.
30. Local and face-to-face communication is referred to as
- Option : C

People in the society normally engage in formal and informal communication or exchange of ideas and opinions as they see/face each other physically.

Thus, with face to face communication new members get increasingly closer to the original members and finally get integrated in the society.
