Arrange the following components of communication process in a logical sequence:
A. Media
B. Encoding
C. Message
D. Decoding
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → C, B, A, D
(C) Message — first. The message is the matter to be sent: the idea, order or suggestion in the sender’s mind. Until it exists there is nothing to send.
(B) Encoding — second. The idea is then put into symbols such as words, gestures or pictures. Only then can it be carried to someone else.
(A) Media — third. The encoded message travels along a channel: a letter, a telephone line, an e-mail, face-to-face speech.
(D) Decoding — fourth. At the other end the receiver converts the symbols back into meaning, and only then is the idea understood.
