1In the basic communication process model, the person who encodes and sends a message is the:
A.Feedback loop
B.Sender
C.Channel
D.Receiver
Explanation: The sender (or source) encodes meaning into a message and transmits it through a channel. The receiver decodes the message; the channel carries it; feedback returns a response to the sender.
2Which element of communication is the medium used to carry a message from sender to receiver?
A.Context only
B.Channel
C.Feedback
D.Noise
Explanation: The channel (or medium) is the path that carries the message—face-to-face speech, telephone, email, print, or social media. Noise interferes with reception; feedback is the response; context is the situation surrounding the exchange.
3Feedback in communication primarily helps the sender to:
A.Ignore the receiver’s understanding
B.Eliminate all non-verbal cues
C.Replace the need for a clear message
D.Know whether the message was received and understood
Explanation: Feedback—verbal or non-verbal—tells the sender how the message was received and interpreted, enabling clarification or adjustment. Effective communicators watch for feedback rather than assuming understanding.
4Verbal communication mainly uses:
A.Words spoken or written
B.Silence as the only code
C.Only gestures without language
D.Only facial expressions
Explanation: Verbal communication is communication through language—spoken or written words. Non-verbal communication uses body language, tone, space, and other non-word cues.
5Semantic noise in communication most often arises from:
A.A broken microphone cable
B.Poor eye contact alone
C.Different interpretations of word meanings
D.A loud air-conditioner in the room
Explanation: Semantic noise is interference caused by language—ambiguous words, jargon, slang, or different cultural meanings. Physical noise is environmental; technical noise is equipment failure; poor eye contact is a non-verbal issue.
6Which pair best contrasts encoding and decoding?
A.Encoding is receiving; decoding is sending
B.Encoding is only written; decoding is only spoken
C.Encoding is converting ideas into a message; decoding is interpreting the message
D.Encoding eliminates noise; decoding creates noise
Explanation: Encoding is the sender’s process of putting ideas into words, symbols, or signs. Decoding is the receiver’s process of interpreting those symbols to recover meaning. Misalignment between encoding and decoding causes misunderstanding.
7In two-way communication, the defining feature is that:
A.Both parties can send and receive messages with feedback
B.Only the superior may speak
C.Messages travel in one direction only
D.Receivers must never reply
Explanation: Two-way communication allows exchange: each participant can act as sender and receiver, and feedback flows both ways. One-way communication (e.g., a broadcast announcement without reply) lacks interactive feedback.
8Which example best illustrates non-verbal communication?
A.Writing a formal email
B.Reading a textbook chapter
C.Nodding while listening to a speaker
D.Typing a chat message
Explanation: Non-verbal communication uses body language, facial expression, posture, eye contact, tone, and space rather than word content. A nod signals agreement or attention without spoken words.
9Psychological barriers to communication most often include:
A.Prejudice, fear, anger, or strong emotions that distort listening
B.Lack of paper and pen only
C.Broken Wi-Fi only
D.Incorrect postal address only
Explanation: Psychological barriers are internal states—bias, stress, anger, anxiety, or closed attitudes—that filter or distort how people send and receive messages. Physical or channel problems are separate barrier types.
10In interpersonal communication, ‘context’ mainly refers to:
A.The speed of the internet connection only
B.The dictionary definition of every word only
C.Only the font size used in a message
D.The situation, relationship, culture, and setting that shape meaning
Explanation: Context includes physical setting, relationship between speakers, cultural norms, purpose, and timing. The same words can mean different things in different contexts (e.g., classroom vs. job interview).
