Which type is specific to an individual subject area?

• A. General Words
• B. Academic Words
• C. Technical Words
• D. Jargons

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing vocabulary that belongs to a specific subject area. Technical words are the terms that name the concepts, processes, or tools unique to a field and carry precise meanings within that domain. Because they encode specialized knowledge, these terms are understood mainly by people familiar with the subject and aren’t part of everyday language. That makes them inherently tied to one particular area of study.

General words are everyday language used in many contexts, and academic words are common across many disciplines. Jargon refers to insider speech used by a group, which can be field-specific but often functions as shorthand rather than precise technical terms. The term that best fits “specific to an individual subject area” is technical words.
