assage to the class c. a counselor listening to his patient d. a mom talking to her toddler using simpler words Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
The answer is letter D. <u>a mom talking to her toddler using simpler words.</u>
Explanation:
When we adapt the message we want to convey, we are trying to make sure that our listener will be able to understand it. A mother knows that her toddler does not have a broad vocabulary and a well-developed capacity of interpretation yet. Thus, if she were to use long sentences and complex words, her child would most likely be unable to understand the purpose of communication at that moment. To make sure her toddler grasps the meaning of what she is saying, the mother adapts her message by simplifying her speech.
"The water rises and the band plays ragtime", and "Stewards finish waking their passengers below; life preservers are tied on; some men smile at the precaution"
