问题            Modern anthropologists hold that referential symbolism—i.e. oral speech,
       writing, national flags, and flag signaling-developed later than condensation
       symbolism, a highly condensed form of substitutive behavior for direct
Line    expression that allows the release of emotional tension. Most referential
(5)      symbolisms derive from unconsciously evolved symbolisms saturated with
       emotional quality that have gradually acquired a purely referential character as
       the linked emotion dropped out of the behavior. Thus, shaking the fist at an
       imaginary enemy-condensation symbolism-becomes a dissociated and thus
       referential symbol for anger when no enemy is actually intended.
(10)         Once referential symbolism is established as a mere by-product of behavior,
       more conscious symbols of reference are evolved by the imitation in simplified
       form of the thing signified, as in the case of pictographic writing. Referential
       symbolism may also be attained by mere social agreement, as when a numbered
       check is arbitrarily assigned to a man’s hat. The less primary and associational
(15)     the symbolism,  the more dissociated from its original context, the less
       emotionalized it becomes, the more it takes on the character of true reference.
The author presents the numbered hat check as an example of
选项 A、a referential symbol that relies on copying the thing it symbolizes in simplified form
B、a condensation symbol that gradually grew into a referential symbol over time
C、a referential symbol that is devoid of associational symbolism
D、a referential symbol that was gradually weaned from its initial emotional context
E、a referential symbol that may gradually metamorphose from its original context into a condensation symbol
答案C
