Consider the following events in the communication process and arrange them in chronological order : 1. Message 2. Sender 3. Encoding 4. Channel 5. Decoding 6. Receiver 7. Feedback Choose the correct answer from the code given below :

The correct answer is (C) 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Chronological stages of the communication model:

• The standard linear communication cycle (Shannon-Weaver & Berlo model) proceeds as follows:
• 1. Sender (2): Originates the communicative intent.
• 2. Message (1): The information/content to convey.
• 3. Encoding (3): Converting thoughts into symbols/language.
• 4. Channel (4): Medium of transmission.
• 5. Decoding (5): Receiver interprets the transmitted symbols.
• 6. Receiver (6): The recipient of the message.
• 7. Feedback (7): Response sent back to the sender.
• Correct sequence: 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
