Answer to #1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Selective perception occurs when a person hears what he or she wants to hear. Listeners tend to tune out or fail to notice parts of communication that do not directly support their points of view. When they see or hear only their own point of view, they are engaging in selective perception.

Answer to #2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Traditional business messages are scripted by designated communicators, approved by someone in authority, distributed through selected channels, and delivered without modification to a passive audience. In the 2.0 approach, customers and other stakeholders are active participants who influence or take control of conversations.

Answer to #3

Answer: C
Explanation: C) No company, no matter how enthusiastically it embraces Web 2.0, is going to be run by a social club. Instead, a hybrid approach is emerging in which some communications follow the traditional approach, while others follow the 2.0 approach. Business 2.0 is about both approaches to communication. Business 2.0 is not about being European or from any specific place.

Answer to #5

Answer: C
Explanation: C) In the phenomenon of selective perception, a person may distort or ignore any information that doesn't conform to his or her perception of reality.
