Question

Fred is with his significant other and he is thinking of best way to propose marriage.

Fred is in the middle of what process?

a. encoding
b. sending
c. decoding
d. receiving

Answer 1

a. encoding

Step-by-step explanation:

Communication involves a party encoding a message, transmitting a message, another party receiving the message and decoding the message.

Encoding means packaging the message in such a way that the receiver is able to decode it and similarly send a message back to the sender.

Here, Fred has composed his message but is thinking of how to package it in a form that will be reciprocated in a positive way from his significant other.

Hence, the question here refers to encoding.
