Question
A conclusion that could be drawn from the passage is :(1) Language is essentially only
expressing and communicating.
(2) Communication cannot take
place without the aid of language.
(3) Information, Commands and
Questions can be separated.

(4) A person ignorant in physics
shows ignorance in language too.
Options:
A .  1 only
B .  3 only
C .  1&3 only
D .  1,2 &3 only
Answer: Option B
:
B
"Language is
essentially only expressing and communicating.”

The passage states the following
"Language
has two primary purposes, expression and communication.”

The author states that
language has two main purposes - expression and communication. This does not
mean that it is only meant for expressing and communicating. In fact when the
author states that "language has two main purposes” it can mean that language
has many purposes but two of them are very important.

The word "only” is too strong. So statement (1) is wrong.
So option (a), (c) and (d) are wrong.
Statement (3) is correct
Look at these lines
"Communication
does not consist only of giving information ; commands and questions must be
included. Sometimes the two are scarcely
separable ;”

The author states that
sometimes they are inseparable. That means there are some places where they can
be separated.

So the correct answer is option (b)
