Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

All important events were broadcasted on the radio.

The ancient period saw many creative methods of mass communication. Many kings had criers who would walk around beating the drum and crying the king's message or like the Acta Diurna newspaper during Julius Caesar's reign. The radio only became a part of mass communication in the 1980s.
