Question
the sentence below from the section fliens and slang helps prove the claim that some groups make up their own slang to communicate with each other.
many groups, from teenagers, jazz musicians and criminals to business workers, have all used slang
which sentence from the section provides further support for the claim?
a as languages changed, people created new ways of saying things.
b if the correct word is not known, a new one will be created or borrowed.
c the word vibes was taken over by baseball players to mean a noisy argument.
d the vocabulary of slang is endless, and it continues to grow
The claim is that some groups make up their own slang. Option C gives an example of baseball players creating their own slang ("rhubarb" for a noisy argument), which directly supports the claim. Options A and B talk about language change in general, not specific group - created slang. Option D only mentions the nature of slang vocabulary (widespread and growing) without showing group - creation.
