What is the main difference between assertive communication and aggressive communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Assertive communication expresses one’s point clearly while respecting the rights and feelings of others.
Assertive communication states a person’s needs, opinions, or limits clearly and calmly while recognising that others also have rights and feelings. Aggressive communication tries to dominate, pressure, or win by disregarding those rights. Thus option B describes aggression, not assertiveness, and the two styles are not identical.
