The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

How does the brainstorming technique of mapping help in writing a research paper?
masha68 [24]
Because this helps you to stay organized. It helps to keep up on track of things when writing a research paper. Without mapping (planning, graphing, etc.) you won't have a straight research. You want to keep everything in order, to where it's all nice and neat, so you will know how to put things in order or whatever. I hope I helped love!
