Question

I REALLY NEED HELP!! Which two words are domain-specific words?

In the 1860s, a fossil of an avian or flying dinosaur known as Archaeopteryx was found. Scientists identified it as a combination of bird and reptile. This discovery led to the theory that birds have evolved from carnivorous avian dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx lived in the southern region of Germany during the Late Jurassic period when Germany had a tropical climate.

Pick two:
-avian
-Scientists
-carnivorous
-dinosaurs
-climate

Answer 1

Avian and carnivorous.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain-specific words are the ones that are not likely to be used in everyday speech, but rather are connected to a certain field of study. Reading this text we see that its theme are new discoveries about fossils, so we're safe to presume that we would come across some words connected to paleontology. Answer such as climate, scientists and dinosaurs are words that people in general are familiar with (lot of kids have dinosaurus toys, we hear about climate everyday in weather report, we know about many famous scientists and their discoveries). However words avian and carnivorous, although we might know their meaning, are mostly used in paleontology.
