What barrier to communication may cause miscommunication between Simona and her colleagues?

Answer 1

Answer:

Emotional Disconnects

Explanation:

Communication may be defined as the process by which the information is made to be exchanged or passed between the individuals through some common forms of behavior, symbols, signs, etc.

An eccentric person has an odd behavior. He or she may have strange behavior and behaves differently from the others.

In the context, Simona behaves in a strange manner with her new colleagues at her New York office and her colleagues considers her having eccentric behavior. Her team mates are surprised by the eccentric behavior and they might try to avoid being in contact with Simona. Thus, the emotional disconnect is the barrier to the communication between Simona and her team mates which may lead to miscommunication.
