Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The word barrier in this scenario is bypassing because you and your cousin have different interpretations of what "greenhouse" means. You are going to the florist's greenhouse, while your cousin is waiting in front of a house that was just painted green. This miscommunication shows that there was a bypassing of the intended meaning of the word "greenhouse."
