d.c., needs to communicate with juan, who is in mexico city, about a project they are working on. although juan has perfect command of english, they are still facing a(n) ______ barrier to communication.

Answer 1

They are facing a barrier to communication called physical barrier.

Physical barrier is a type of barrier where the environmental condition causes the decrease of effectiveness on communication between the sender and the receiver. This is due to the fact that Tracie is in Washington D.C, U.S.A, while Juan is in Mexico City, Mexico, which means that there is a considerable distance between them.
