Which of the following are most open to interpretation by the audience, based on their experiences?

A) Abstract words
B) Concrete words
C) Clichés
D) Buzzwords
E) Jargon


Answer: A
Explanation: A) Abstractions tend to cause more trouble because they are often "fuzzy" and can be interpreted differently, depending on the audience and the circumstances. The best way to minimize such problems is to balance abstract terms with concrete ones. State the concept, and then pin it down with details expressed in more concrete terms. Save the abstractions for ideas that cannot be expressed any other way.
