Answer:

Staging area, supply air lock, hot zone

Explanation:

All of these words can be encountered in the following passage from <em>The Hot Zone </em>by Richard Preston:

They closed up their suits and lumbered across the staging area to a large air-lock door. This was a supply air lock. It did not lead into the hot zone. It led to the outside world. They opened it. On the floor of the air lock sat the seven garbage bags.

The term<em> jargon</em> refers to words and phrases used by a specific group of people that may be difficult to understand to those who do not belong to the said group. It is used in a particular communicative context, which is usually a certain occupation, but any ingroup can have its own jargon. The purpose of jargon is to increase the efficiency of communication between people involved in the same field or group.

In the given passage, the examples of jargon are words <em>staging area, supply air lock, </em>and <em>hot zone.</em><em> </em>When we read this isolated passage, it may be difficult to completely understand its meaning and visualize the described scene, as we may not know what these words mean in the given context. Words <em>outside world </em>and <em>garbage bags</em> are commonly used by everyone, so they do not belong to jargon.
