Answer:
There once was a man who lived in a small house, he was very poor and didn't have much. He always dreamed of becoming rich and having his own family but it seemed like it was never going to happen. One day, when he was planting in his garden, he found a shiny object. He picked it up, and took it inside to observe it. He found that it looked kind of like a lamp, one that he had seen in his childhood. He thought of rubbing it like he had seen in movies. Nothing happened. Upset, he took it inside. He had an idea of cleaning it and selling it to make money. He took the lamp and washed it with water. Sparkles appeared everywhere. He heard a voice, asking for what he wanted most. The man was greedy. He asked for a big castle made of chocolate. There were lots of sparkles and noises everywhere. He then saw a large castle made of chocolate standing in front of him. His old home had dissappeared, along with the magic lamp. He went inside. {The Next Day} He woke up, thinking it was just a dream. He smelt chocolate and realised that it was real. A drop of chocolate fell on his face. He looked up. He saw that the whole chocolate castle was melting apart because of the hot sun. He quickly ran outside and looked at the melting chocolate in horror. He learned his lesson, he should be greatful for what he had, although he had nothing now. He said "Never will I do that again."
Answer:
I would say that the statement that is true is the one that says: <em>"Indirect messages do not cause miscommunication."</em>
Explanation:
I chose this statement because it is true that the fact that a message is indirect doesn't mean it is not clear for the receptor, the effective comprehension of the message will depend on the words choice of the speaker/writer and not on the kind of message he/she is using to express it. <u>About the other options</u>, it is true that a direct message allows you to express a desire without insulting or offending anyone, but it is also true that it doesn't depend on the message being direct or indirect, it only depends on the speaker being polite or not. The example "<em>Do my laundry</em>!" is actually an example of a direct message, it is written between quotation marks and it indicates that those are the exact words of the speaker, it is a direct message. About the last statement: the fact that the message being polite or not, doesn't depend on the kind of message, it depends on the speaker being polite or not, being kind or not. The most accurate answer is that the statement that is true is the third one: "<em>Indirect messages do not cause miscommunication.</em>", at least not necessarily.
That would be B) It creates a conflict to drive the narrative.
