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
