Question

how can the choice to present a story through the medium of radio most affect an audiences perception of it?
a. radio stories must be based in fact.
b. listening to a story makes it seem more authoritative.
c. dialogue from participants in a story can give the story credibility.
d. emotional music can sway an audiences emotions.

Explanation:

• Option A: Radio stories don't always have to be based on fact. Fiction is common in radio storytelling.
• Option B: Listening to a story doesn't inherently make it more authoritative. Authority depends on content and source, not the act of listening.
• Option C: Dialogue from participants can add authenticity and credibility. When people hear real - life voices and exchanges (even if fictionalized to some extent in a story), it can make the story seem more real.
• Option D: While music can sway emotions, the question is about how the medium of radio (not just the music aspect) affects perception. The key here is the use of dialogue (a medium - specific element) for credibility.

Answer:

C. Dialogue from participants in a story can give the story credibility.
