Which of the following is not included in semantic barriers to communication?

(A) Un-clarified assumptions

(B) Distrust

(C) Poor retention

(D) Technical jargon

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> Identifies distrust (psychological barrier) and poor retention (cognitive barrier) as NOT being semantic barriers, which is correct.

Option 2 -> Claims technical jargon is not a semantic barrier, but it actually IS a semantic barrier related to language and meaning.

Option 3 -> Claims un-clarified assumptions and technical jargon are not semantic barriers, but both ARE semantic barriers affecting meaning and interpretation.

Option 4 -> Claims un-clarified assumptions, poor retention, and technical jargon are all not semantic barriers, but un-clarified assumptions and technical jargon ARE semantic barriers.

Hence, Option 1: (B) and (C) only -> Semantic barriers relate to meaning, language, and interpretation issues. Distrust is a psychological/emotional barrier, while poor retention is a cognitive/memory barrier - neither relates to language meaning. However, un-clarified assumptions and technical jargon ARE semantic barriers as they directly affect understanding and interpretation of communication -> correct
