Answer:
B) relation
Explanation:
In this example, the professor is violating the conversational maxim of relation. In order for a conversation to be interesting, clear and efficient for both the speaker and the listener, it is important that the topics being discussed are all related to each other. Otherwise, the conversation becomes too difficult to follow. In this example, the professor goes on tangents and talks about subjects that are not related to the class. Therefore, he does not follow the rule of relation.
Answer:
I did not shake hands with a HIV-positive person
Explanation:
When I was a high school student, I met a man that I knew had AIDS. I was unfriendly towards him and I did not take his offered hand in greeting. I discriminated this person by totally avoiding him and not getting involved with him at all, even though he was a friend of my parent's.
I behaved this way because I lacked knowledge about this disease. I thought that it spread through skin contact and that all infected people were from criminal or gay background.
Years later I did some serious research on AIDS and knew that all my accusations were totally false.
