What type of relationships are made up of unequal verbal interactions?

Symmetrical relationships
Asymmetrical relationships
Combative relationships
Interdependent relationships

The correct answer is: Asymmetrical relationships

Asymmetrical relationships are characterized by unequal verbal interactions, where one person may have more power or dominance in the conversation than the other. In symmetrical relationships, both parties have equal power and can engage in a more balanced communication style. Combative relationships focus more on conflict and can involve equal or unequal verbal interactions. In interdependent relationships, individuals rely on each other and have equal dependence on one another, which may result in more equal verbal interactions. While all relationships can have varying levels of equality and balance in verbal interactions, asymmetrical relationships are specifically defined by unequal verbal interactions.
