问题 Complete each sentence with the correct ending, A-H, below.
Write the correct letter, A-H, in boxes 36-40 on your answer sheet.
A is meaningless.
B has lasting effects on human behaviours.
C is a symbol that has lost its meaning.
D can be understood only in its social context.
E can provide inadequate explanation of meaning.
F reflects the variability of human behaviours.
G emphasises the importance of analysing how words were used.
H suggests that certain types of behaviours carry more meanings than others.
A story in a language the audience cannot understand

选项

答案D

解析根据题干“story”提示，定位到原文最后一段“If I were to tell a shockingly obscene story in Arabic or Hindustani or Swahili before an audience that understood only English， no one would blush or be angry；the story would be neither shocking nor obscene—indeed， it would not even be a story．”这句是说如果人们理解不了语言或符号的含义，可能不会做出反应，比如脸红或愤怒。D项说“要在特定的社会环境下理解事情”，与这句意思相符。因此，本题的答案为D。
