Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The main function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as for example, the dots and dashes of telegraph curcuit. 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 quicly and 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 hand-shaking also communicate certain cultural messages. Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantages. 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 on speech. Radio, television, and telephone are only a few. 66.

Because people believed that signals, and symbols were obsolete D. Because people wanted new form of entertainment 70. It may be concluded from this passage that A. Signals, signs, symbols and gestures are forms of communication B. Symbols are very easy to define and interpret C. Only some cultures have signals and symbols D. Waving and handshaking are not related to culture 71. The word curcuit is closest meaning to A. Hand B. Letter C. Email D. Round 72. Find the word in the passage that mean support A. Convey B.
