Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions _ they have different ages, jobs, educationlevels and so on.
A. shorter B. another C. alive D. communicate with E. the other |

On __ hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words or putting words together and we make them out of proper names.
