Question

Writers should avoid jargon because jargon ______.

a. Takes too long to use
b. Limits what ideas can be explored
c. Conveys too much information
d. Is difficult for many to understand

Answer 1

The answer is D. Is difficult for many to understand because there are cultural backgrounds where people are taught different ways to say the term.

Answer 2

Answer: d. Is difficult for many to understand.

Jargon refers to language that is very specific to a particular context, and is often not understood outside that context. Jargon is most often used to refer to technical language that belongs to a particular occupation. Therefore, texts that employ too much jargon might not be read outside of that particular group or industry as the language might be too difficult for outsiders to understand.
