"The good thing about words, "Hanif Kureishi remarks in "Loose Tongues", "is that their final effect is incalculable. [...] You can never know what your words might turn out to mean for yourself or for someone else; or what the world they make will be like. Anything could happen. The problem with silence is that we know exactly what it will be like."
Kureishi, in sum, suggests:
(i) There is always some risk involved in writing/speaking.
(ii) It is better to avoid using words than to risk miscommunication.
(iii) Words being predictable, are always open to misinterpretation.
(iv) The unpredictable, in deed, is the strength of words.
Determine the correct combination according to the code:
1
(i) and (iii)
2
(ii) and (iv)
3
(ii) and (iii)
4
(i) and (iv)
