In which situation can the absence of feedback become a communication problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the sender cannot determine whether the receiver has understood the message correctly.
Feedback completes the communication process by showing whether the receiver interpreted the message as intended. Without it, the sender may assume success and fail to notice confusion, missing details, or an incorrect meaning. Restating the message, confirming understanding, and using questions are all forms of useful feedback, so options B, C, and D describe feedback rather than its absence.
