Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men arecreated equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met
on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation
might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long
remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died
in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the
earth

Writers should avoid jargon because jargon ______.a. Takes too long to use
b. Limits what ideas can be explored
c. Conveys too much information
d. Is difficult for many to understand

Answers

Answer: d. Is difficult for many to understand.

Jargon refers to language that is very specific to a particular context, and is often not understood outside that context. Jargon is most often used to refer to technical language that belongs to a particular occupation. Therefore, texts that employ too much jargon might not be read outside of that particular group or industry as the language might be too difficult for outsiders to understand.
The answer is D. Is difficult for many to understand because there are cultural backgrounds where people are taught different ways to say the term.
