Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every

known culture The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it

attracts attention, as for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech,

the potential for communication is very great Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also

contain meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their

intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions In some cultures, applauding in a

theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages

Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent
