<span>Heaney incorporates Old English poetry elements in his modern translation through punctuation. In Old English poetry, one often used half-lines. This means that each line of poetry was split into two half-lines, and in each of these half-lines there were two strongly stressed words, often with the purpose of giving musicality to the poem. Heaney follows this half-line pattern in his modern translation.</span>

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Communication is just the act of transferring information from one person to another through speaking, writing, drawing, or some other medium. It involves at least <em>one sender, a message and a receiver.</em>

Option A is not correct because communication implies transferring information by any medium, not only speaking or writing.

Option D is not correct because as a process, communication not only depends on a sender, a message and a receiver. It can have more elements involved in the process.

Option C is also incorrect because the interpretation of the message is just one step of the communication process, not the only one.

The combined activities of speaking and listening, as stated in Option E, is more related to the word 'conversation.'

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
