What will be an ideal response?

sender to determine if the message was understood as intended. It also allows the sender to correct any errors and misconceptions. Additional advantages suggest that when feedback
increases, reception of information is enhanced. Disadvantages include that it takes time to
provide feedback and people must be willing to clarify misconceptions when they occur.
