The application of dialectic to the study of writing composition was new.

Question

Which domain-specific term shoulder a writer define in the sentence to clearly communicate ideas to a new student?

a. A writer should define the term dialectic so students understand that the sentence is referring to a method of discussion
b. A writer should define the term study of writing so students understand that the sentence is referring a field of study
c. A writer should define the term composition so students understand that the sentence is referring to writing
d. A writer should define the term application so students understand that the sentence is referring to a method, or way of doing something

Answer 1

a. A writer should define the term dialectic so students understand that the sentence is referring to a method of discussion.

This choice is most relevant because "dialectic" is a specialized term that may not be familiar to all students, and defining it would provide clarity regarding the method of discussion being referenced in the context of writing composition.
