Evaluating Face-to-Face Communication vs. Mass Communication

Assertion (A): Face-to-Face communication is better than mass communication. 

Reason (R): Because face emits vibrations and leads to a heart to-heart communication.  

(A) Both (A) and (R) are incorrect.  

(B) Both (A) and (R) are correct.  

(C) (A) is not correct in all the situations while (R) is correct.  

(D) (A) and (R) are not correct in the situations but both may be correct in certain situations. 

Correct Ans: (D)

Explanation:

The assertion (A) claims that face-to-face communication is better than mass communication. While face-to-face interaction can indeed provide more personal and immediate feedback, this is not always universally true. Different communication modes serve distinct purposes. For instance, mass communication is more effective when delivering messages to a larger audience, such as during a public announcement or a campaign. Therefore, (A) is not valid in every situation.

The reason (R) suggests that the face emits vibrations and leads to heart-to-heart communication. This is true to an extent because face-to-face communication allows for the use of non-verbal cues, like facial expressions and gestures, which can enhance emotional connection and understanding. However, this reason applies only to certain contexts where personal interaction and empathy are essential.

Both the assertion and the reason can hold merit, but their applicability depends on specific circumstances. For example, face-to-face communication is better suited for intimate, emotional, or persuasive discussions. On the other hand, mass communication is ideal for reaching a vast and diverse audience.

Thus, the correct answer is (D): Both (A) and (R) are not correct in all situations, but both may be correct in certain contexts.

This explanation highlights the context-dependent nature of communication modes, ensuring clarity on when each type is most effective.
