Explanation
The barriers to communication among these are loud music, ill health, a poorly working telephone and traffic noise.
Statement 1 loud music is a physical noise that drowns out the message.
Statement 2 ill health is a physiological barrier that weakens attention and reception.
Statement 3 a telephone in poor working order is a technical or channel fault that blocks the signal.
Statement 5 traffic noise is another physical disturbance from the environment.
Statement 4 good health aids communication rather than obstructing it, so it is no barrier.
