III. Read the following passage and choose A,B,C or D to answer the following
questions
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various
forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has
been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is
accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and

ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression.
Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact and can
be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either
intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that
the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a
negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of
raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals.
Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm, and instruct people.
While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication
B. Everybody uses only one form of communication
C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners
D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest

A. tourist B. the deaf and the mute
