Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers In English, at least three havebeen identified and described

Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a

language in any situation regardless of the level of formality As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed

in standard dictionaries Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all

speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations

Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a

large number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority Colloquial expressions and even

slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified Both colloquial usage and slang are more common inspeech than in writing

Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slangexpressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang

phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories Every generation seems to require its own set of words to

describe familiar objects and events

It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body

of slang expressions First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diversepopulation with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population

Finally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard", "colloquial", and "slang" exist only as abstract labels for scholars whostudy language Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slangexpressions Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions
