Part 4: Writing to Evaluate Mortimer's Style — Quiz
Question 1 • British Literature and Composition
Read the literary analysis paragraph. Shakespeare’s writing style reveals information about attitudes toward the landscape. His precise word choice provides detailed descriptions of the outdoors. In Titus Andronicus , he uses words like "ruthless,” "vast,” and "gloomy” to describe forests. Although he is known as the "playwright’s playwright,” Shakespeare could have been a travel guide. Which sentence from the paragraph contains the best use of domain-specific vocabulary?
Answer
A

B

C
His precise word choice provides detailed descriptions of the outdoors.
D
In Titus Andronicus , he uses words like “ruthless,” “vast,” and “gloomy” to describe forests.
Explanation
Domain-specific vocabulary is precise language associated with a particular subject. Sentence D names the play Titus Andronicus and gives specific descriptive words—“ruthless,” “vast,” and “gloomy”—used to describe forests. The other sentences discuss Shakespeare or the outdoors more generally, so sentence D is the strongest example.
