Read the passage from "What It Takes to Prepare for the Iditarod."

Clothing is not a small expense. Smart mushers prepare for almost any weather condition on the trail. At -20 degrees F., which is most mushers' favorite temperature to run dogs, a forty-mile-an-hour wind will create a wind-chill factor of -87 degrees. Warm weather is another problem. Dogs overheat and mushers must slow their teams and give them extra rest in such circumstances. Rain is perhaps the most dangerous weather because it saps both drivers and dogs of heat and energy and soaks clothing and gear.

What are the technical words from the passage?
(Select two that apply)

A. condition
B. mushers
C. weather
D. driver

PS. I know that one of them is musher but I don't know what the other one is because the question says to select only two answers.

Answer: Weather

Explanation: Considering that a technical word is a word that has a specific meaning in informational texts, the logical answer other than "mushers" is "weather".
