Question

when writing for a general audience, students should choose words that are

technical.
conversational.
subject specific.
scientific.

Explanation:

Analyze the target audience

A "general audience" consists of readers who do not necessarily have specialized, technical, or scientific background knowledge in a specific field.

Evaluate the word choice options

• technical, subject specific, and scientific words require specialized knowledge and are suited for expert or academic audiences rather than a general audience.
• conversational words are accessible, easy to understand, and appropriate for engaging a broad, non-specialist general audience.

Answer:

• technical.
• conversational. (Correct answer)
• subject specific.
• scientific.
