Quiz 1

Regarding Reading 1.

  1. When communicating with a flashlight, why isn't it practical to just 'write' the letters in the air or use a sequential series of blinks (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc) ? (I'm looking for two specific words.)
  2. Explain how speech itself (the English vocabulary) is a code (what do words represent?).
  3. What are some other examples of common everyday codes? What makes them useful? (I'm looking for a specific quote from the text.)
  4. How is Morse code itself a 'meta' code?
