Which of the following is true about Tier 3 words?

  1. They are high frequency words used in daily conversation

  2. They are technical terms limited to specific domains

  3. They are abstract words used across various subjects

  4. They are commonly understood by all age groups

The correct answer is: They are technical terms limited to specific domains

Tier 3 words are specifically defined as technical terms that are often limited to particular fields or domains, such as academic subjects, professional areas, or specialized topics. These words are not commonly used in everyday conversation and usually require explicit instruction for understanding. Examples might include terms like "photosynthesis" in biology or "mitosis" in cellular biology, which are not typically encountered outside of those contexts. The understanding of Tier 3 vocabulary is crucial for students, especially when they are engaging with complex texts or specific subject matter. Recognizing the nature of these words helps educators target instruction to ensure that students can access and comprehend academic content effectively. In contrast, the other choices describe characteristics of different types of vocabulary, which are not relevant to the specificity and context of Tier 3 words.
