What is the best summary of the selection?

• Loud trumpeting sounds are just one of the sounds elephants make. They also make rumbles, barks, snorts, and cries to communicate with members of the herd.

• Elephants have many more ways of communicating than most people might think. Elephants use touch, smell, noise, and movement to five one another messages.

• An elephant's trunk lets an elephant share messages such as "Let's play" or "Danger!" The trunk has a sensitive tip for touching other elephants and picking up smells.

• People and elephants both have a larynx, a body part that lets them make sounds. Elephants "talk" in low sounds, and elephants also use their sense of touch and smell a lot.
