Question

Which of these can be a barrier to communication?

  1. A. Clear diction
  2. B. Unbiased opinion
  3. C. Use of high-sounding words
  4. D. Good network connection

Answer

Correct option: C - Use of high-sounding words

High-sounding or complex vocabulary creates a semantic barrier to communication. When the sender uses jargon, technical language, or unnecessarily elaborate words that the receiver is unfamiliar with, the intended message is not understood. Effective communication requires using language that is appropriate for the receiver's knowledge level. Clear diction, unbiased opinions, and good network connections all facilitate rather than hinder communication.
