Thank you Ms. Sue
You're welcome Maybell.
Of course, I'd be happy to help you find the answer to your question!
To find the answer based on the SMCR model, we need to understand what it stands for. SMCR stands for Source, Message, Channel, and Receiver. According to this model, effective communication occurs when a source (or speaker) sends a message through a specific channel to a receiver, who then interprets the message.
To identify which factor can lead to problems in communication, we need to analyze the options provided:
A) Having a neat appearance: While having a neat appearance can certainly be important in some contexts, it is not directly related to communication problems according to the SMCR model.
B) Having outside interests: Similarly, having outside interests, while significant for personal development, is not directly related to communication problems in the SMCR model.
C) Maintaining eye contact with the receiver: In the SMCR model, maintaining eye contact is crucial for effective communication. It helps establish a connection and shows active engagement between the speaker and the receiver.
D) Speaking on the level of the receiver: In the SMCR model, speaking on the level of the receiver refers to adapting one's language and content to match the receiver's understanding and knowledge. This helps ensure clear communication and prevents problems arising from misinterpretation.
Based on the explanations above, the correct answer would be:
C) Maintain eye contact with the receiver
By understanding the concept of the SMCR model and analyzing each option, we can determine that maintaining eye contact with the receiver is a critical factor in effective communication according to this model.
