A. 1. Verbal communication is the most popular form of communication where the transmission of
messages occurs with the usage of words that can be in oral spoken or written form. It includes
sounds, words, and speech. It is often used during presentations, video or teleconferences,
informal or formal telephone calls, discussions, lectures, public speaking, meetings, etc.
2. a. Think about your topic.
b. Think about the most effective ways to make your listeners understand the topic.
c. Write or note down whatever you plan to say.
3. Feedback is a response of the receiver with respect to the message received from the
sender. It works as an indicator for the successful transmission of the message thus making
communication a two-way process.
Examples:
• “Nice work done by you.”
• “ You were really good on stage but if you work more on your voice modulation, then you
can do wonders.”
4. Positive feedback focuses on the sender’s strengths, achievements or successes. It also takes
care of the areas of improvement and creates a positive attitude for the sender.
For example:
• “Nice work done by you.”
• “ You were really good on stage but if you work more on your voice modulation, then you
can do wonders.”
Negative feedback highlights the weaknesses and problems of the information that the
sender has conveyed to the receiver. It should be genuine or true to bring a positive change
in the process of communication.
For example:
• “You did not submit your assignment.”
• “You wrote your answers very badly.”
• Taking long time to reply email, SMS.
• Not smiling at the time of meeting.

For example: Shweta is eating chocolate.
7. Article is a word that describes the noun. It is used before a noun to show whether it is
specific or not. In English grammar there are three articles—A, An, The.
8. Direct Objects: Direct objects come after a verb and are directly ‘acted on’ by the verb. It
answers the question “what?” or “who?”.
For example: She sang on Annual day. Peter doesn’t like Maths.
Indirect Objects: Indirect object is the recipient of the direct object. It answers the question
“to whom?”, “for whom?”.
For example: She made a cake for her mother’s birthday. He wrote a letter to his friend.

a sentence. Every word you use in a sentence has its own role to play. Every word has a
specific function to play in a sentence to make it meaningful. It falls into different categories

is important to learn these different parts of speech to understand the language well to
help you construct good sentences for effective communication.

so that the sentences are smoother and effective.
For example: Words are: I, she, her, you, himself, some, we, you, each, who, which, that,
mine, yours, his, her
B. 1. Sender: Sender is a person or entity who starts the communication process. He will convey
a message with the purpose of passing meaningful information/ideas to others involved
in the communication cycle.
Message: It is the information which the sender wishes to convey to the receiver. It is the
subject with the actual content of the whole process of communication.
2. Cultural Barrier:
Culture is values and principles followed in the lives of people living in society. It is the
sharing of customs, rituals, beliefs, ideas, art, knowledge, values, morals, ideals, etc. amongst
people living in their own geographically restricted areas.
• A
 s the mindset of people of different cultures are different, so is their language, signs
and symbols. This causes a barrier to communication.

4 Trackpad IT402-X (Ver. 1.0) (Answer Key)


• C
 ulture also gives rise to prejudices and stereotypes. These become the societal norms,
thus becoming a barrier to effective communication amongst people of different cultures.
• D
 ifferent cultures adopt different ways of communication. For example, some cultures
may be very open while others may be orthodox, thus affecting ways people communicate
among various cultural sects. For example, in Arab countries it is considered to be a
social crime to greet an opposite gender by shaking hands.
Linguistic Barrier:
The inability to communicate using a language is known as a language barrier to
communication. This inability may be due to lack of common language, inefficiency to use
the language since it is not a mother tongue or speaking disability.
• A
 n English person traveling to Japan will not be able to interact with Japanese people
if he doesn’t know Japanese.
• S
 ometimes, people belonging to different places may be speaking the same language
but have different pronunciation, dialect, meaning and interpretation which may lead
to miscommunication, thus altering the overall process of communication.
• S
 ometimes, a specific organisation or industry uses certain technical words or symbolic
words or jargons and slangs which make it easy to communicate. If a new employee
joins or is transferred to a new environment, then the efficiency of the whole process
may reduce due to lack of knowledge of these words.
• S
 ome people may have language disabilities such as stuttering, dysphonia or hearing
loss while others working with these people in an organisation may be spontaneous
and grasp things easily which creates a lot of difficulty in communication.

and in understandable format. Clarity in writing or speaking of the message plays a
very important role in effective communication.

5. Inadequate flow of information amongst employees working at different levels of hierarchy
may lead to organisational barriers.
This may be due to:
• T
 he restricted rules and policies of an organisation as the employees avoid getting
into the hassle of sending or receiving any message. For example, if the company rule
says that all communication should be in writing, then even a small message where
time constraint plays a very important role in decision making may lead to delay in the
transmission due to writing formalities and level of approval required from different
people.
• A
 formal communication protocol is always followed when communication takes place
between a senior and his subordinate. In such situations, a subordinate employee will
always have fear, anxiety and withdrawal in communication.
6. Eye Contact:
Keeping a proper eye contact shows you are mentally present and actively involved in
communication. The way you look at someone will reflect some of the strongest emotions
and feelings during a social conversation. Rolling your eyes expresses displeasure or
unhappiness with a situation.
Eye contact helps you:
• F acilitate the connection with your audience in a meeting, conference, presentation,
etc.
• Improve your concentration
• Give confidence and authority
• Retain the important points of conversation
• Express your emotions like sadness, happiness, surprise, fear, etc.
Body Posture:
Body posture is the position of the human body and its alignment and orientation with
respect to non-verbal communication. During a conversation, the way you sit or stand and
communicate your body postures to others depends a lot on your attitude and emotional
state. Before you start a conversation, standing straight and holding your head high will
have a great impact on the crowd.
The correct body postures for effective non-verbal communication are:
• Keep your shoulders straight and body relaxed
• Sit straight while resting your hands and feet in a relaxed position
• While standing, keep your hands by your sides

etc. When you are speaking in public, you may be representing your organisation or just
yourself. You should ensure that you are properly and neatly dressed. It also increases
your self-confidence and you will definitely feel good about yourself.
7. Visual Communication is the transmission and interpretation of information by using visual
resources like photographs, videos, art, drawings, sketches, charts and graphs. Visuals
enhance the process of communication during written or verbal communication for better
understanding and a meaningful interpretation of the information. It has a great impact
on our day-to-day life.
For example, traffic signals for stop, wait or go. To indicate ‘danger’ we use a red colour
sign, to indicate ‘no smoking’ we use an image showing a lighted cigarette with a cross
mark on it, etc.
Some of the common examples of visual communication in our day-to-day lives are:

Horn Prohibited No Parking

Ladies and Gents Toilet No Left Turn

Pedestrian Crossing

B. 1. Good stress, also known as “Eustress”, occurs when we are excited. Our heart beat faster, and
we feel a rush of hormones in our body, but it is not dangerous for us. We also feel this good
stress before a public performance, ride in water parks, or when the exam result is declared.
This kind of stress keeps us lively and excited in life. So in the short term, stress can have a
positive impact on us, and our behaviour. Eustress motivates us to achieve more, but when
the duration of stress increases for a long time then, it takes the shape of bad stress, which
may cause physical or mental health problems. Exam stress, for instance, is beneficial to you
since it helps you stay alert and study for the test; however, chronic stress can lead to health
problems such as headaches, nausea, and fainting during the test. Thus, stress management
is crucial to success in life.
2. Time Management When you feel that there is too much to do and not enough time
then, you start getting panic attacks, lose focus and make errors in your work. Good Time
Management techniques will help you prioritise your task and manage your commitments.
Make a list of the work in terms of urgent, important, and not important. This will put
you in control of your situation and help you increase your productivity. In academic life,
keeping your notes organised, finishing assignments on time, and tracking deadlines can
help reduce stress.

26 Trackpad IT402-X (Ver. 1.0) (Answer Key)


Skills Development Programme (GSDP) in India in the year 2017, started by the Ministry
of Environment, Forest and Climate Change MoEFCC in partnership with the National Skill
Development Agency (NSDA). It aims to develop green skilled workers having technical
knowledge and commitment to sustainable development. The program supports the
attainment of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), National Biodiversity Targets (NBTs) and Waste Management Rules 2016.
2. There are three major problems related to sustainable development. Let us discuss them
one-by-one.
• F ood: As we are using up more and more land for designing concrete jungles, we are
reducing the land for cultivation of crops. Soil nutrients are also depleting due to pollution
from industries, overgrazing of land etc. Overpopulation is another threat for the shortage
of food all across the world.
• W
 ater: The supply of fresh drinking water from rivers and ponds is limited worldwide.
Due to pollution, these water bodies are contaminated, leaving very little water available
for actual use.
• F uel: Forests are cut down for fuel leaving barren land where soil erosion will lead to soil
degradation and a drastic change in climatic conditions. An increase in the consumption of
oil and natural gas has led to an increase in the level of carbon dioxide causing a change
in the climatic conditions. We are using a lot of wood from trees for the construction of
homes and furniture. Extreme weather conditions, such as floods, extreme cold, or heat,
are seen in many places, which affect the people living there.
3. • G
 oal 14—Life below Water: This goal focuses on protecting life underwater by eliminating
pollution, overfishing, and illegal fishing practices to achieve healthy and productive
oceans. Oceans, seas, and rivers are home to more than 2 million estimated species.
These underwater species provide life support and regulate our climatic conditions. We
all need to conserve and consciously use the world’s oceans, seas, and marine resources
to make them sustainable for present and future generations. For example, Integrated
Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Project aims to conserve and manage coastal and
marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and resources sustainably, supporting the livelihoods
of coastal communities while protecting marine habitats.
• G
 oal 15—Life on Land: This goal ensures stopping further damage to life on earth by
deforestation, loss of natural habitats, and land degradation so that all nations together
can work to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity and ecosystems. By stopping the
cutting of trees and forests, land degradation, fragmentation and overgrazing will help
in preserving and restoring terrestrial ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, grasslands,
drylands and mountains. Cutting trees is leading to soil erosion and making land dry and
unusable for cultivation. For example, National Afforestation Programme (NAP): Aims
to increase forest and tree cover to enhance biodiversity, combat desertification, and
mitigate climate change impacts in India.

A. 1. Entry Required ensures that a value must be entered in the field before saving a record, while
Default Value automatically fills in a predefined value if no input is given by the user.
2. Data Redundancy refers to the unnecessary repetition of data within a database, which leads
to storage wastage and inconsistency in data management.
3. Referential Integrity ensures that relationships between tables remain consistent by enforcing
constraints.
Referential Integrity helps in the following conditions:
• Whenever a new record is added in a table with the foreign key then it ensures that the
value added should exist in a primary key of the other linked table.

Trackpad IT 402-X (Ver. 1.0) (Answer Key) 51


• Update or deletion in the Table with the primary key is not allowed if the matching record
exists in the foreign key of the other table.
4. Reports are formatted presentations of data retrieved from the database that help users
analyze and summarize information effectively.
5. A data model is a conceptual framework that defines how data is structured, stored, and
manipulated in a database.
6. The Memo data type is used to store large amounts of text, such as comments, descriptions,
or long notes.
7. Queries help users retrieve, filter, and manipulate data based on specific conditions.
8. There are two ways: using Design View or Datasheet View.
9. The Default Value property automatically assigns a predefined value to a field when a new
record is created.
10. Design View allows users to define and modify the structure of a table, including field names,
data types, and properties.
Datasheet View enables users to enter, edit, and view data in a tabular format.
B. 1. Some advantages of the database are as follows:
• Organised Storage: Databases employ structured formats and indexing mechanisms
to organise data efficiently, which allows fast and accurate retrieval of information.
This organisation typically follows a predefined schema, ensuring data integrity and
facilitating query operations.
• Data Analysis: DBMS systems provide powerful querying capabilities that enable users
to perform various analyses on the stored data. Aggregate functions, sorting, filtering,
and grouping operations make it easy to understand such as maximum, minimum,
average, or other statistical measures from the data.
• Reduces Data Redundancy: Data Redundancy means keeping multiple copies of the
same data in a System. Using DBMS, the data in tables are interlinked through a common
column to avoid duplicate entries. Data constraints are applied to store data based on
different criteria.
• Sharing of Data: It means data can be accessed by multiple users at the same time.
Different users can have different rights and privileges to access data. Some may have
the right to only view the data. Some may have permission to modify the data. Database
administrators manage the rights and privileges for sharing data through a centralised
system.
2. In LibreOffice Base, three types of relationships can be created:
• 
One-to-One Relationship: Each record in Table A is linked to one record in Table B.
Example: A person and their passport. It is represented as a 1:1 relationship.
• 
One-to-Many Relationship: A single record in Table A can be linked to multiple records in
Table B. Example: A teacher and students in a class. It is represented as a 1:n relationship.

52 Trackpad IT402-X (Ver. 1.0) (Answer Key)

Many-to-Many Relationship: Multiple records in Table A can be associated with multiple
records in Table B. Example: Students and courses in a university. It is represented as a
n:n relationship.
3. A table in a database can be created in the following ways:
• Using Design View: Allows users to define fields, data types, and properties manually.
• Using Datasheet View: Users can enter data directly, and fields are created automatically.
• Using SQL Commands: Users can create tables using SQL commands like CREATE TABLE.
• Using Table Wizard: Provides predefined templates to quickly set up tables.
4. Sorting is the process of arranging data in a particular order, either ascending or descending.
It helps in analyzing and organizing data efficiently. Sorting can be done in two ways:
• Ascending Order: Data is arranged from smallest to largest (e.g., A-Z, 0-9).
• Descending Order: Data is arranged from largest to smallest (e.g., Z-A, 9-0).
5. An existing table in a database can be opened in the following ways:
• M
