Read the passage and choose the correct answer.

1. Communication has always been an essential part of human life and has changed as societies developed. One exciting way of communicating over long distances is using smoke and fire signals. This simple method helped connect faraway communities and showed how clever our ancestors were.

2. Smoke signals have been used since ancient times, with different cultures finding ways to send messages through rising smoke. This practice was common among indigenous peoples in many places, like Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians, and tribes in Africa and Asia.

3. Making smoke signals was easy but very effective. By changing how strong and how long the fire burned, and using specific materials to create different smoke shapes, communities made a basic code for communication. Other messages could be sent by changing the number and timing of the smoke puffs, forming a unique language.

4. Smoke and fire signals had many benefits, making them essential for ancient societies. One major advantage was that they could send messages over long distances. This was particularly crucial in regions with challenging landscapes like mountains, forests, or deserts, where conventional communication methods were useless.

-> The word “conventional” in paragraph 4 is opposite in meaning to ____________
