Communication cycle and its elements

Correct answer: D. प्रेषक द्वारा प्रतिक्रिया के विकोडन में

Explanation: Feedback must also be decoded and interpreted by the sender. Here the sender received a suggestion but assigned it the wrong meaning, turning it into personal criticism. That is an error in decoding feedback. The original channel or the receiver’s encoding is not necessarily faulty merely because interpretation went wrong.

Correct answer: A. A misunderstanding may continue for a longer time

Explanation: Feedback helps the sender discover whether the message was understood and whether any correction is needed. If feedback is delayed, a misunderstanding or mistake may remain uncorrected while the receiver acts on it. Thus, the risk of prolonged confusion increases. A delayed response does not automatically close the channel, change the sender, or make the original message factually correct.

Correct answer: B. माध्यम की अनुचित गुणवत्ता भी शोर बन सकती है

Explanation: A channel should carry a message clearly, not merely loudly. Excessive volume can distort sound and make words difficult to decode, so poor channel quality acts as noise. More volume does not always improve clarity. This problem is unrelated to whether feedback is needed or whether the message context has changed.

Correct answer: C. हाँ, यदि व्यवहार या कार्य से समझ स्पष्ट हो जाए

Explanation: Feedback is not always a spoken or written reply. Following an instruction, completing a task, or showing an appropriate behaviour may demonstrate understanding. If the purpose of the message is achieved, communication can be effective even without a verbal answer. The receiver still has an important role in interpreting and acting.

Correct answer: D. Timeliness

Explanation: Timeliness means delivering information at a time when it can still be used effectively. In this situation, the recipient and perhaps the content were correct, but the late arrival reduced the message’s usefulness. Therefore, timeliness was affected. Courtesy concerns respectful language, completeness concerns necessary information, and visibility concerns how easily the message can be seen.

Correct answer: A. अलग-अलग प्राप्तकर्ताओं तक पहुँच और पुनर्बलन बढ़ता है

Explanation: Using several suitable channels can reach people with different access habits and reinforce the same information through repetition. The channels should remain consistent and purposeful. Multiple channels do not necessarily change the meaning, remove the need for feedback, or always increase noise; poor coordination, not multiplicity itself, creates those risks.

Correct answer: B. Provide an oral description or tactile alternative

Explanation: An inclusive message uses a form that the intended receiver can access. An oral description explains the visual information through sound, while a tactile alternative allows it to be explored through touch when appropriate. Adding colours does not solve a visual-access problem, and reducing the image size may make it harder to use. Stopping feedback would remove communication rather than improve it.

Correct answer: C. दर्शक विश्लेषण

Explanation: Audience analysis means learning about the receivers’ age, knowledge, language, needs, expectations, and access before planning communication. This information guides the choice of words, detail, format, and channel. It is different from decoding a received message, measuring noise, or controlling feedback after communication.

Correct answer: D. प्रतिक्रिया की विश्वसनीयता घटेगी

Explanation: Feedback is useful only when receivers can express agreement, doubt, or disagreement honestly. Accepting only supportive answers creates pressure and hides problems, so the feedback becomes biased and less reliable. It does not make the message objective or make receivers more independent; it may effectively turn communication into one-way communication.

Correct answer: A. प्राप्तकर्ता-केंद्रित संचार

Explanation: Receiver-centred communication begins with the audience’s needs and adapts content, language, tone, and channel so that the message can be understood and used. This approach improves relevance and effectiveness. A barrier obstructs communication, incomplete decoding concerns interpretation, and one-way noise is not a recognised description of this planned adaptation.

Correct answer: B. प्रेषक से कूटलेखन, फिर संदेश और माध्यम से प्राप्तकर्ता, फिर विकोडन और प्रतिक्रिया वापस प्रेषक तक

Explanation: The sender first forms and encodes an idea, sends the message through a channel, and the receiver decodes it. The receiver then provides feedback that returns to the sender, completing the cycle. Option B includes the forward flow and the return flow; the other sequences omit or misorder essential elements.
