Which of the following is the most appropriate example of a language barrier?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Not understanding the meaning of a message because it contains unfamiliar technical terms
A language barrier arises when the language, vocabulary, grammar, or technical terms used are not understood by the receiver. Unfamiliar technical words fit this definition, so A is correct. Poor lighting, excessive distance, and a very low voice interfere with seeing or hearing the message; they are physical or auditory barriers rather than language barriers.
