Being articulate has been equated with having a large vocabulary. Actually, however, people with large vocabularies have no incentive for, and tend not to engage in, the kind of creative linguistic self-expression that is required when no available words seem adequate. Thus a large vocabulary is a hindrance to using language in a truly articulate way. Which one of the following is an assumption made in the argument?
A: In unfamiliar situations, even people with large vocabularies often do not have specifically suitable words available.
B: In educating people to be more articulate, it would be futile to try to increase the size of their vocabularies.
C: When people are truly articulate, they have the capacity to express themselves in situations in which their vocabularies seem inadequate.
D: The most articulate people are people who have large vocabularies but also are able to express themselves creatively when the situation demands it.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
