Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
by circling letter A, B, C or D as the correct answers

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
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, warn and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems
and techniques express human thoughts and feelings.
