Answer:

- Repetition

Explanation:

As per the situation, James may develop his faith in the myth that 'eating spicy food items will provoke ulcers' <u>due to the constant repetition of the same idea from his family, as well as, friends</u>. Researches display that <u>repetition of a similar idea over and again promotes people to believe it as compared to believing something fresh or unrepeated</u>. They call it 'Illusory truth effect' in which the repeated information processes quickly and easily in the recipient's mind and this is why they believe it to be true. The same is the thing with James who is constantly being told to avoid spicy food in order to not aggravate his proneness to ulcers and hence, he might take this myth as the truth.

True [87]

Thelma goes to collect her clothes from a dry-cleaning store at 8 p.m. The store guarantees a 24-hour pick-up service in all of
vivado [14]

Answer:    Communications gap

Explanation:  The gap in communication is an everyday occurrence in modern society. The speed of life, as well as the large number of commercials, offers, are the reasons for the communication gap. What sociologists and psychologists see as the reason is a lack of empathy, that is, people's unwillingness to understand others in such a busy modern society or to look at the perspective of others. That is why this gap arises, because what one person or party intended to say was not understood by the person who is listening, i.e the recipient. And so in this case, where the advertisement may have stated that the cleaning shop receives laundry for 24 hours and that customers can take over the laundry from 11 am to 7 pm, or there may be some other misunderstanding, there was certainly no complete understanding between what was stated in the commercial and what Thelma understood.
