While talking to an uneducated person, we should use

  • A.Ordinary speech
  • B.His vocabulary
  • C.Simple words
  • D.Polite language

Answer: B

Correct answer: His vocabulary

The passage says different classes of people use different vocabularies and that educated speech may strike an uneducated listener as pompous. The remedy that follows from this is to meet the listener in the vocabulary he uses. Simple words is close, but the passage's point is about matching the listener rather than about simplicity as such.
