Read the following passage and indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communication without speech.

Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge

upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and the 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 of themselves. A stop sign of 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 theatre provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures

such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural message.

Although signals, sings symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have major disadvantage. They usually do not

allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication

intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone

are only a few.
