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 a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention as for example the dote 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 also 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 have a major disadvantage They usually 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

C Communication D Speech What does the author say about speech?
A That it is the only true form of communication
B That it is dependent upon the advances made by inventors C That it is necessary for communication to occur
D That it is the most advanced form of communication According to the passage what is a signal?
A The most difficult form of communication to describe
B A form of communication which may be used across long distances C A form of communication that interrupts the environment

A a signal B a sign
C a symbol D a gesture Why were the, telephone, radio, and TV invented?
A Because people were unable to understand signs, symbols, and signals B Because people wanted to communicate across long distances C Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete D Because people wanted new forms of entertainment
6 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
