An author might choose precise words over
vague words because the author could want the
reader to visualize the writing. The reader could
be confused and visualize something else
entirely if the author uses vague words. A good
example is if the writer is writing instructions, hel
she would need to be very specific. Another
example is if the writer is composing a poem, it
would be best if he/she uses precise words of
what they're describing. Ex., Vague: The flower
is pretty. Precise: The pink tulip bloomed
beautifully.

Answer:

The meaning of "vague" is uncertain or not precise words. The author might do so because he or she wants the reader to visualize some certain image. With clearer words, the reader can better visualize. With imprecise words, the reader could visual something completely different. Or build up suspense and tone.

Vague: The cemetery was spooky and looks old.

Precise Fog surrounded the whole cemetery, and spiderwebs stuck on the gravestones. Chills shivered up my back.

With more precise words, the reader can get a better feeling of the setting or image the author is trying to get across.

patriot [66]
By believing that women could be valued enough to vote, men began to realize that our thoughts and words could actually mean something and so, the things that women wrote were thought about too. They were taken into consideration and even debated. This was kind of an honor to women of the time.<span />
