Paper 1 · Communication
When we say that communication is intentional, it means that
AThe sender consciously intends to affect the behaviour of the receiver of the message ✓ Correct
BEffective communication is a process of acting on information
CThrough speech communication, people make sense of the world
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (A) The sender consciously intends to affect the behaviour of the receiver of the message — Intentional communication means the sender consciously aims to affect the receiver's behaviour, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Intentional communication means the sender consciously aims to affect the receiver's behaviour, so that is the answer.
★Intention here points to a deliberate purpose behind the act of communicating.
★The sender knowingly seeks a response or change in the receiver.
★So it is defined by the conscious aim to influence the receiver.
★Acting on information and making sense of the world describe other features, not intention.
★Hence intentional communication means the sender consciously intends to affect the receiver's behaviour.
