If an instruction does not clearly state the task, time, and place, which principle of communication is weak?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Clarity
Clarity requires a receiver to know exactly what must be done, when it must be done, and where it must happen. If those details are missing, the receiver has to guess and different people may act differently. Courtesy concerns politeness, while eye contact and gestures are non-verbal features rather than the missing informational principle. Thus B is correct.
