Read the passage and choose the correct answer:
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways
of communication 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 attracts attention,as, for example, the dots and the dashes
of the 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 convey 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 culture message
Although signals, signs,symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a 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.
