Question

Explain why an author might choose precise words over vague words.

Answer 1

Answer:

An author might choose precise words over vague words because the author could want the reader to visualize the writing. The reader could be confused and visualize something else entirely if the author uses vague words. A good example is if the writer is writing instructions, he/she would need to be very specific.

Answer 2

An author might do this because he/she wants to add more detail and help the reader visualize everything better.
