"I'd say it is like a gas furnace. The cord that goes into the modem is like the natural gas pipes. The information in the cords is like the gas in the pipe. The modem is like the furnace itself that harnesses that information into your home, and the router is like the spark that ignites the gas and turns into heat, sending it invisibly into your home, room to room."

Communication is more than getting everyone on the same page. It's about how a message is conveyed. Communicating complex topics in layman's terms should seem like second nature. Displaying your ability to adapt your communication style to the style of less skilled communicators will go a long way here. That requires patience, empathy, and setting the tone for communication through your attitude. The more comfortable you are, the more confident you'll be. Take care with your choice of words and what they might communicate as you deliver your answer.

This question centers on communication. Therefore, it is a reasonable expectation that the assessment vendor's algorithm will evaluate your communication skills. Pay close attention to your choice of words. Enunciate and speak clearly, avoiding any stutters or awkward pauses. Smile and pretend you are talking to a person, limiting your use of any speech crutch words such as "uh," "like," "um," "you know," "so on and so forth," "and," "well," "but," "so," "ah," "er," and "Etcetera."
