Mortimer’s way of writing connects readers’ modern lives with the lives of people from a long time ago. He writes in a way that
makes it sound as though readers will be taking a trip back in time. For example, he writes, "Whatever you do in Elizabethan England, you will have need of medical advice or surgery at some stage.” This connects readers to a future trip and allows Mortimer to transition to the next topic, which is medical care. Mortimer effectively shares information that supports his idea of introducing readers to a historical time period. Which words and phrases could be replaced with precise or domain-specific language? Check all that apply. “Way of writing” should be replaced with “writing style.” “People from a long time ago” should be replaced with “Elizabethans.” “You” should be replaced with “the reader.” “Transition” should be replaced with “go on.” “Idea” should be replaced with “purpose.”
The words and phrases that could be replaced with precise or domain-specific language are:
“Way of writing” should be replaced with “writing style.”
“People from a long time ago” should be replaced with “Elizabethans.”

Explanation:
Precise and domain-specific language have the function of use more accurate words to describe something in a written work, here the three examples that can be replaced are not only being precise or domain-specific, but they are also giving to the lines a more formal and professional writing, as well as they ease the reading to the lector.

In this text, we encounter a description of the grasshoppers that are present in Rainy Mountain. The author tells us that these grasshoppers "pop up" like corn. This is meant to describe the way the insects jump out of the grass. By using this simile, the author is able to create a vivid picture of the animals, and thus enrich his description.
