What are the barriers to effective communication ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2019 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (23-Jun-2019)
The correct answer is

Moralising being judgemental and comments of consolation

Barriers to effective communication are factors that block or distort the understanding of a message. Responses such as moralising, being judgemental and offering hollow comments of consolation make the receiver defensive and shut down open exchange, so they act as barriers.

Dialogue, summary and self-review, use of simple words, eye contact, personal statements and simple narration are aids to effective communication. The set with simple words and cool reaction also contains ‘defensive attitude’, but taken as a set it mixes aids with a barrier, whereas the first set consists entirely of barriers.

Hence, the answer is Moralising being judgemental and comments of consolation.
