passage
(1) Every profession or trade, every art and science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to designate things or processes which have no names in ordinary english, and partly to secure greater exactness in nomenclature. (2) special dialects, or jargons, are necessary in technical discussions of any kind. (3) being universally understood by the devotees of the particular science or art, they have the precision of a mathematical formula. (4) besides, they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it. (5) thousands of these technical terms are included in every large dictionary and are added to standard english dictionaries after thorough review. (6) different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. (7) in trades, handicrafts, and other vocations, such as farming and fishing, which had occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is very old.
(8) It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. (9) hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound and more generally understood than most other technicalities. (10) the special dialects of law, medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons, and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. (11) and the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political sciences and in the mechanic arts. (12) yet, every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. (13) new terms are coined with the greatest freedom and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. (14) most of the new coinages are confined to special discussion and seldom get into general literature or converSATion.
(15) Yet no profession is now a days as all professions once were a closed guild. (16) the lawyer, the physician, the man of science, and the cleric, associate freely with his fellow creatures by not meeting them in a merely professional way. (17) furthermore, what is called popular science makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. (18) any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, would be reported in the newspapers, as in the case of the roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy.

5.Which of the following sentences should be added after sentence 13 in order to link the last paragraph to the rest of the essay?
The reason being the technical vocabulary is difficult to understand.
However, literature incorporated different words from different vocations.
Sometimes, these newly developed words spread across different professions or trades.
Even though, newly developed words were not part of the profession, they are part of literature.
Occasionally, the literature and profession has similar words.
