CBlock a pathway between the sender and receiver of a message

DSpeak to large groups of people

Correct answer: (A) Translate ideas into a code

Explanation

To encode in communication means to translate ideas into a code of words, signs or symbols.

The sender performs this step so a thought can travel through a channel.

Interpreting a code is the receiver's decoding act, the reverse of encoding.

Blocking a pathway between sender and receiver describes noise or a barrier, not encoding.

Speaking to large groups names a communication setting, not the act of turning ideas into a code.

Encoding is the first active step by which a message takes shareable form.
