Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The game "telephone" involves passing a message through a chain of people, and the message often becomes distorted by the time it reaches the end of the chain. This demonstrates the potential for distortion in oral communication when messages have to be passed through multiple people. The other options (nonverbal cues, language barriers, and static on the line) are not relevant to the game "telephone" and do not as clearly demonstrate the disadvantage of oral communication in this context.
