Correct answer: (C) 1, 2 and 3 only
Explanation
Cultural barriers in classroom communication are captured by statements 1, 2 and 3.
Statement 1, language, blocks understanding when teacher and learners do not share a tongue or register.
Statement 2, signs and symbols, can carry different meanings across cultures and so mislead across a classroom.
Statement 3, stereotypes, distort exchange when fixed group images override what a person actually says.
Statement 4, intercultural orientation, is not a barrier at all but an aid that helps bridge cultural gaps.
Only the first three obstruct shared meaning in a diverse class.
