Question 6: Read the passage and choose the best answer.
An important part of world history is the story of communication. In prehistoric
times, for example, people did not have books. They did not know much about
geography. People were limited. They knew only about themselves and their
environment (the land around their homes). Their knowledge of geographical things
like mountains and rivers was limited. They did not travel very far. Sometimes they
knew about nearby people and communicated with them. They sent messages in
simple ways. Early signals for communication included smoke from fires and the
sounds of drums.
Then peole formed towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they began
to develop other ways to communicate, to spread information. People began to buy
and sell things to one another. Because of their business, they developed writing
systems to keep records and to send messages. Life was changing for many
people.Business caused changes, and so did the invention of the printing press. Many
more people learned to read then.
Suddenly communication and knowledge improved greatly. People sent letters and
news by horse and carriage. Later the mail went by train and then by airplane.
World communication was now a possibility.
