Which of the following is a correct example of a semantic barrier?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A single word being understood in different meanings
A semantic barrier arises when words, symbols, or expressions are understood differently by the sender and receiver. If one word is given different meanings, the intended message may be misinterpreted even though it was heard clearly. A closed door, excessive distance, or a faulty microphone creates a physical or technical obstacle rather than a problem of meaning.
