In the communication process, the receiver does not merely hear or read the message. What is the receiver’s main additional role?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Interpret (decode) the message and provide appropriate feedback
The receiver processes the message by decoding its words, signs, or symbols and interpreting the intended meaning. The receiver can then respond through an answer, question, action, or other feedback, helping the sender judge whether understanding has occurred. Encoding is primarily the sender’s role, while channel choice and original purpose are not the receiver’s main duties. Hence, A is correct.
