Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

Every profession or trade, every art and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to designate things or processes which have no name in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in nomenclature. Such special dialects, or jargons, are necessary in technical discussion of any kind. Being universally understood by the devotees  of the particular science or art they have the precision of a mathematical formula. Besides, they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very properly included in very large dictionary, yet as a whole they are rather on the outskirts of the English language than actually within its boarders. Different occupations, however differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts and other vocations, such as farming and finishing, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is very old. It consists largely of native words , or of borrowed words  that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. Hence though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound , and more generally understood, than most of technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, divinity and philosophy have also, in their strata, become pretty familiar a large body of technical terms the remains essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greater freedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussion and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet, no profession is now a days , as all professions once were, a closed guild. The lawyer, the physician, the man of science and the cleric associated freely with his  fellow creatures, and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Further more, what is called popular science makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.

By saying that professions are no longer ‘closed guilds’, the author means that,
