Read the passage and choose the best answer :
Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than
speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing is secondary to language.
Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years;
but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.
When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even
today, there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before
we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will leam to
talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort
to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and
even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who
learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.
To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. One advantage
writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization
must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized .
