Question

Which of the following would be considered an instrumental need that can be met through communication?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Convincing your roommate to turn off her music by midnight each night

Explanation:

Instrumental needs consist of needs that are helpful for us in completing our everyday tasks and fulfill short and long term objectives. Fulfilling these objectives is a continuous communicative task, meaning that we use most of our time implementing communication for instrumental needs. By convincing your roommate to turn off her music every night, he/she will eventually do it automatically.
