Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Communication involves the exchange of messages between two or more parties. Before this exchange can occur, there must be a purpose or idea that the sender wants to convey to the receiver, which is expressed as a message. Therefore, choice A, message, is the best answer. While need or want may be related to the purpose of the communication, they are not the best choices as they do not necessarily imply the existence of an expressed message. Value and moral are also not the best choices because they refer to concepts that are not directly related to the purpose of communication.
