As can be seen by the different possible responses, there
exists more than one type of interpersonal communication. With that in mind, let’s think through the
possible responses. One-sided
communication is communication where there is typically no way for a dialog to
occur such as in mass communication like a speech or television broadcast. Thus, because Danielle is face to face with a
classmate’s mother in a doorway, even though the classmate’s mother might not
reply, we know this situation is not one sided and cannot be “B. one-sided interpersonal communication.” Intimate communication is communication that
occurs with those whom we have personal/intimate relationships with such as our
own family members and close friends.
Because the communication is between Danielle and someone else’s mother,
it can be assumed there would be no intimacy there. Thus, we can assume the answer is not “C.
intimate interpersonal communication.”
That leaves us with “A. impersonal interpersonal communication.” To understand why “A” is the proper response,
however, one must recall that impersonal interpersonal communication is
communication that happens between two people who have no real history or
expected future together such as those we meet standing next to in line at a
fast food restaurant, music concert, or blocking the way into a classroom. Keep in mind, though, that just because
communication is impersonal it can be polite, which was a bit tricky with this
question and might lead one to consider a response other than the correct response: “A. impersonal interpersonal communication.”
