What does latent content signify?

  1. The surface level of communication

  2. The underlying meaning of words

  3. The volume at which words are spoken

  4. The visible aspects of communication

The correct answer is: The underlying meaning of words

Latent content refers to the underlying or hidden meaning of words or communication rather than the surface level. Option A and D are incorrect because they refer to the visible or surface aspects of communication, and do not consider the hidden meaning. Option C is incorrect as it refers to the volume or loudness of words, which is not related to the hidden meaning. Therefore, B is the most accurate answer.
