Question

Latin is used for scientific names because

a) It is a dead language
b) Scientists can communicate more clearly
c) Both of the above

Answer 1

The answer is b) scientists can communicate more clearly, because for one, Latin is not a dead language, and two, scientists need to communicate with other scientists around the world. There are quite a few scientists around the world, obviously speaking Latin, who make huge discoveries daily, so this is an important language to use.

Answer 2

B. Scientists can communicate more clearly.

Since all the names are the same languages barriers won’t stop scientists from research or collaborations with other scientists around the world.
