    1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

    How do humans and other animals communicate with each other? Of course, humans communicate
    verbally by talking and making other sounds like laughing. Most other mammals also communicate
    by making sounds as well. Sophisticated intelligent mammals, especially dolphins and whales,
    possess well-developed verbal skills and communicate with high-pitched sounds that carry through
    the water. Researchers are actively working on interpreting these sounds in order to understand
    dolphin and whale language. Verbal communication is accompanied by non-verbal body language
    that also conveys meaning and emotion. Body language includes facial expression, posture, position
    of the arms and many other cues that help in understanding the meaning of verbal communication.
    In the absence of verbal communication, body language can be sufficient to convey meaning.
    Sometimes merely a stern look from Mom or Dad or a teacher, lets you know that you are not
    behaving properly; no words are necessary!
