Ryan and his friend kari see each other and begin to have a conversation. ryan notices that kari is crying. ryan asks, "what is wrong? " kari replies, "nothing." knowing that kari wouldn't just cry to cry, ryan becomes concerned. what level of meaning was ryan's question directed toward?

Ryan's question was directed toward the relationship level of meaning.

Explanation:

Relationship level of meaning refers to a different way a message could be interpreted depending on the social relationship that exist between the communicator and the receiver.

From the example above, Ryan and Kari are friends (this is their social relationship)

When Ryan asked "what's wrong?" IT conveys a deeper message to Kari since they both know each other's personality. Based on on their relation, Ryan could determine that Kari is in a trouble simply by looking at her abnormal behavior.. Kari will interpret that question differently if they're not friends.
