Which of the following best describes one-way communication?

  1. Participants engage in discussion with the instructor

  2. Instructor demonstrates an exercise and participants repeat it

  3. Participants remain standing after the instructor tells them to lunge

  4. Instructor asks for feedback from participants

The correct answer is: Participants remain standing after the instructor tells them to lunge

One-way communication is characterized by a flow of information that moves in one direction, typically from the instructor to the participants, without an interactive exchange or feedback from the audience. The correct choice indicates a scenario where the instructor gives a directive, and the participants do not engage in any discussion or provide immediate feedback; they simply follow the instruction given. This illustrates the essence of one-way communication, where the instructor's message is conveyed, but it does not invite any response or interaction from the participants. In this context, it emphasizes that the communication lacks feedback, which is a key element of two-way communication. The other scenarios involve some level of interaction or response, which categorizes them as two-way communication rather than one-way.
