Academic Vocabulary
Common Words
Rare Words

The correct answer is: Specific Academic Vocabulary

Specific Academic Vocabulary represents words that are specific to a particular academic subject or discipline, such as words like "mitosis" in biology or "circular reasoning" in logic. Common words, on the other hand, are words that are widely used in everyday language and are familiar to most individuals regardless of their academic background. Therefore, Common Words represent words that are commonly encountered and used in general communication, distinguishing them from specific academic vocabulary, which is more specialized and related to specific disciplines.
