Question

What do domain- or subject-specific words do for the reader?(1 point) They help the reader to learn new vocabulary words. They help the reader to analyze any type of text, no matter the subject. They inform the reader that the author is writing about a particular topic. They inform the reader that the author is an expert in a specific field.

Answer 1

Answer:

Domain- or subject-specific words inform the reader that the author is writing about a particular topic (third option).

Explanation:

Domain- or subject- specific words are words or terms that belong to a particular subject or category, like, Math terminology, or literature-specific words. If you see the word 'metaphor,' the text is likely about the analysis of a particular novel or story.

Option 1 is not correct because those words might be completely new to the reader.

Option 2 is not correct because subject-specific words cannot be applied to any subject because they are specific to only one.

Option 4 is not correct because the author isn't necessarily an expert in a specific field only because he/she uses special terminology.
