Morgan has a background in engineering and sends an e$-$mail message containing a project proposal to Avery, who diplomatically

wants to tell Morgan that the report Morgan sent is overly clinical and needs more explanation to go with the numbers that Morgan is

presenting for the project. Avery responds via e$-$mail with $"$I$\text{'}$m not sure how these numbers will be received." Morgan hears Avery's

message as saying that Morgan's numbers are wrong and need to be redone. Which of the following explains the apparent

miscommunication here?

Noise, resulting from the difference of the two individuals' perspectives

Channel, the inappropriateness of e$-$mail

Channel, the necessity of face$-$to$-$face

None of these choices
