Explanation:

To fill in the blanks, we use the concepts of the communication process:

1. Communication is transferring information (or "ideas", "messages") from one to another.
2. Every communication involves sender, message, recipient.
3. There’s a message exchange (or "communication flow") between sender and recipient.
4. Sender: Initiates communication, sends the message.
5. Encoding: Sender converts ideas into a understandable form.
6. Message: Transmitted, shares understanding/info.
7. Decoding: Receiver interprets the message.
8. Receiver: Gets, decodes, interprets, gives feedback.
9. Feedback: Receiver’s response, final step, ensures clarity.

Answer:

1. Communication: the act of transferring \(\boldsymbol{\text{information}}\) (or "ideas", "message") from one place, person, or group to another

• every \(\boldsymbol{\text{communication}}\) involves (at least) one sender, a message, and a recipient
• \(\boldsymbol{\text{Message exchange}}\) (or "Communication flow") between sender and recipient

1. \(\boldsymbol{\text{Sender}}\): send the message to the receiver; responsible for initiating the communication & for conceptualizing the ideas behind this communication or conversation

1. \(\boldsymbol{\text{Encoding}}\): sender develops the idea of the message into a form that can be understood by the audience

1. \(\boldsymbol{\text{Message}}\): transmitted by the sender to the receiver; prime factor here which will let the sender share a common understanding, information, or message to the receiver to channelize the communication

1. \(\boldsymbol{\text{Decoding}}\): receiver decoded the message for proper interpretation and effective channelization of the communication process

1. \(\boldsymbol{\text{Receiver}}\): receives, decodes, understands, interprets the message, and provides feedback if required

1. \(\boldsymbol{\text{Feedback}}\): a receiver’s response to a sender’s message

• final step of the communication process
• ensures the receiver has received the message and interpreted it correctly as it was intended by the sender
• may be in the form of asking questions to clarify meaning of the message
• increase the effectiveness of the communication as it permits the sender to know the efficacy of his message
