What does speaking vocabulary encompass?

Words used in writing
Words used in conversation
Words encountered in reading
Technical terms specific to a subject

The correct answer is: Words used in conversation

Speaking vocabulary encompasses the words that individuals use in conversation. This includes all the terms and phrases that a person actively uses when communicating verbally with others. It reflects the vocabulary one is comfortable articulating and is typically less formal compared to written vocabulary. For example, while a person might have a large reading vocabulary filled with complex and nuanced words they encounter in literature or academic texts, their speaking vocabulary will consist mainly of words they can easily recall and employ during everyday interactions. This distinction highlights the practical application of vocabulary in social and communicative contexts rather than in writing or specialized fields.
