Answer 1

The options are given below:

b) interpretation

c) perceptuation

d) conjugation

e) intrepidation

The correct option is A. Punctuation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To punctuate a communication refers to the interpretation of an ongoing sequence of events by determining that one event is the cause and the resulting event is the response. In a situation with communication, if one thing happens, something else always happens.

In the scenario above, both Shannon and Roger are exemplifying the theory of punctuation, because they each think that their actions are as a result of the actions of the other person.
