Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate your answer.<br />
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating<br />
without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The<br />
basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for<br />
example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for<br />
communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in<br />
and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.<br />
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship<br />
with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides<br />
performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also<br />
communicate certain cultural messages.<br />
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major<br />
disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being<br />
directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a<br />
result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be<br />
2<br />
<br />
based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems,<br />
electronic mail, and the Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on<br />
the horizon.<br />

A. Communication<br />

A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.<br />
B. The most difficult form of communication to describe.<br />
C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.<br />

A. inefficient<br />

A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.<br />
