If the receiver does not understand the language being used, what should be done for effective communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Use simple and understandable language.
The purpose of communication is shared understanding, not merely repeating the sender’s preferred words. The sender should use familiar vocabulary, shorter sentences, examples, or an agreed language and may check understanding afterward. Repeating difficult language does not remove the barrier, blaming the receiver is unhelpful, and stopping is unnecessary when adaptation can solve the problem.
