6. Differentiate between formal and informal feedback.
Ans. • Formal Feedback follows a predefined format or blueprint to construct the structure of the feedback. It is also a time-
consuming process. For example, “Congratulations! Keep it up.”
• Informal Feedback is most of the time spontaneous verbal feedback that does not follow any specific pattern or
predefined blueprint. For example, “Hi! Your son has done really well this time in exams.”
7. Explain any two of 7Cs of Communication.
Ans. Concise: The message must be conveyed by using only limited words. Avoid using fancy unwanted or repetitive words
or fillers otherwise the actual message intended to be conveyed may get lost in the long content.
Concrete: The content of the message should use only necessary words with complete facts and figures to avoid
misinterpretation of the message by the receiver.
8. Give three important reasons for organisational barriers.
Ans. Important reasons for organisational barriers are:
• As mindset of people of different cultures are different, so is their language, signs and symbols. This causes a barrier
to communication.
• Culture also gives rise to prejudices and stereotypes. These become the societal norms, thus becoming a barrier to
effective communication amongst people of different cultures.
• Different cultures adopt different ways of communication. For example, some cultures may be very open while
others may be orthodox, thus affecting ways people communicate among various cultural sects. For example, in Arab
countries it is considered to be a social crime to greet an opposite gender by shaking hands.
9. What are the rules for writing a sentence?

• It should have a meaning.
• It begins with a capital letter.
• It ends with a full stop or exclamation mark or question mark depending on the type of a sentence.

10. Explain the types of barrier in Communication.
Ans. The process of communication has multiple barriers. They are as follows:
• Physical Barrier: This type of barrier refers to the interference to effective communication occurring in the environment.
It can be the distance between people, a noisy source near a telephone, poor lighting, bad health, and other such
factors.
• Psychological Barrier: This type of barrier in communication distracts the communicator or prevents them from
paying attention to the message. Shrillness of voice, anxiety, mental fatigue, and pre-conceived notions are some
examples of psychological barriers to effective communication.
• Linguistic and Cultural Barriers: A language is the expression of the thoughts and experiences of people in terms of
their cultural environment. Each major region has its own language and culture. Lack of knowledge about the local
language and culture can become a limiting factor to effective communication.
• Mechanical Barrier: This type of barrier is created by the channel or medium itself. Disturbances and interferences in
the channel can prevent the flow of some of the elements of the message from reaching their destination smoothly.
11. How many elements are there in a paragraph?
Ans. There are many elements of a paragraph which are given below:
• Unity: Unity in a paragraph begins with the topic sentence. Every paragraph has one single, controlling idea that is
expressed in its topic sentence which is typically the first sentence of the paragraph.
• Order: Order refers to the way you organise your supporting sentences. Whether you choose chronological order,
order of importance or another logical presentation of details, a solid paragraph always has a definite organisation.
• Coherence: Coherence is the quality that makes your writing understandable. Sentences within a paragraph need to
connect to each other and work together as a whole.
• Completeness: Completeness means a paragraph is well developed. If all sentences clearly and sufficiently support
the main idea, then your paragraph is complete.
