سوال ۳ کنکور ارشد مهندسی مکانیک ۱۴۰۲

Option 1: breakdown. A breakdown is a failure or collapse in the functioning of something. A communication breakdown occurs when people cannot successfully exchange or understand messages. Not sharing a language with customers can cause exactly this failure.

• 2) brevity means shortness or conciseness, especially in speech or writing. A language barrier does not necessarily make communication concise; it may prevent understanding altogether.
• 3) gesture means a movement, especially of the hands or head, that expresses meaning. Gestures may help overcome a language barrier, but communication gesture does not name the failure described as a consequence here.
• 4) imitation means copying someone's actions, behavior, or appearance. Nothing in the sentence suggests copying; it describes a risk to mutual understanding.

Exam trick: Learn communication breakdown as a noun collocation: breakdown describes failure, not simply a shorter or different form of communication.
