Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Jargon, the specialized language of a particular profession or industry, has a bad reputation, but it's not always bad. Using jargon is usually an efficient way to communicate within the specific groups that understand these terms.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Buzzwords, newly coined terms often associated with technology, business, or cultural changes, are more difficult to handle than clichs because in small doses and in the right situations, they can be useful. The careful use of a buzzword can signal that you're an insider, someone in the know.
