"An account of Dr. Swift has been already collected, with great diligence and acuteness, by Dr. Hawkesworth, according to a sche

me which I laid before him in the intimacy of our friendship. I cannot therefore be expected to say much of a life, concerning which I had long since communicated my thoughts to a man capable of dignifying his narrations with so much elegance of language and force of sentiment.
Jonathan Swift was, according to an account said to be written by himself, the son of Jonathan Swift, an attorney, and was born at Dublin on St. Andrew's day, 1667: according to his own report, as delivered by Pope to Spence, he was born at Leicester, the son of a clergyman who was minister of a parish in Herefordshire. During his life the place of his birth was undetermined. He was contented to be called an Irishman by the Irish; but would occasionally call himself an Englishman. The question may, without much regret, be left in the obscurity in which he delighted to involve it."
What effect is accomplished through the author's choice to begin his account with this paragraph?
A) It shows the author is bored with the subject
B) It establishes that the author knew Jonathan Swift
C) It lets the reader know not to take his account seriously
D) It creates conflict between the author and Swift’s biographer

Answer:

In Titus Andronicus, he uses words like "ruthless," "vast," and "gloomy" to describe forests is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Domain-specific vocabulary is defined as the word choice or language chosen and how it directly relates to the audience or the effect the writer wants to create. In this case, it means that if the author wants to prove that Shakespeare can select very precise words to describe the outdoors he must choose a passage or a series of words that illustrates it. Due to this, option C is the correct answer.
