Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When communicating internationally, it is important to eliminate ____
A
literal translations
B
jargon
C
adverbs
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Special terms can be useful shorthand within a particular audience and may be the clearest way to communicate with that group. However, going beyond necessary technical terms to write in jargon can cause misunderstanding or alienation, even if your only readers are specialists.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jargon certainly has relevance on a peer-to-peer level. It helps people within the same profession identify each other and speak more efficiently and effectively about ideas. But, for the same reason that jargon can create closeness, it also creates separation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instead of using highly technical and corporate terms in the workplace, just be as straightforward and clear as possible. Also remember to ask employees during your interactions if everything you said is clear, and make sure to let them know that you will not judge them if they do not understand what you are saying.

Detailed explanation-4: -At best, jargon risks confusing the audience through wordiness or the use of obscure terms. At worst, it completely defeats the intent of the writer to communicate with clarity. Therefore, you should generally avoid using jargon unless you define the words for readers who may not understand them.
