Reading Comprehension Context
Directions: The passage given below is followed by questions based on its contents. After reading the passage, choose the best answer to each question.
Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a great curse, for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to our fellows, it can also, if we use it carelessly, make our attitude completely misunderstood.

A slip of the tongue, the use of unusual words or of an ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Again, different classes of people use different vocabularies, and the ordinary speech of an educated man may strike an uneducated listener as pompous. Unwittingly we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener from what it does to men of our own class.

Thus speech is not a gift to use lightly without thought, but one which demands careful handling. Only a fool will express himself alike to all kinds and conditions of men.
