Effective communication may be shown by ..................... this equation. where : MS–message sent by sender MR–message received by receiver
MS – MR = 0
Communication is effective when the message received by the receiver is exactly the message sent by the sender, that is, when there is no loss or distortion of meaning on the way.
Writing MS for the message sent and MR for the message received, perfect communication means MS = MR, or MS – MR = 0. Any noise or barrier makes the received message differ from the sent one and the difference stops being zero.
An equation with a difference of +1 or –1 shows a gap between the sent and received messages, which indicates communication that is not fully effective.
MS – MR = 0 option is correct.
